Method
Slice the banana2 into rounds.

Blend for 1–2 minutes until completely smooth with no lumps.

Tips
- Why it works
- Blend the cottage cheese with the milk for 1–2 minutes so the protein dissolves fully and the mixture turns smooth without lumps. If grains remain, the ice cream will be dry.
- Substitutions
- Swap the 8 g of honey for 5 g of powdered sugar, but the texture will be less soft. Use 50 g of mashed ripe pear instead of the banana, but it will taste less sweet.
- Common mistakes
- If the cottage cheese isn't blended smooth, the ice cream will crumble. Check that the mixture looks like thin sour cream, with no visible particles.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature for 10 minutes and don't use the microwave.
- Serve with
- Serve with tea after lunch or dinner when you need a quick protein snack. You can add 5 g of shredded coconut on top before serving.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
