FAQ ❓

How does whey enhance the nutritional value of this homemade ice cream?

Whey adds a source of protein, making this ice cream ideal for muscle recovery and satiety.
Bananas add a creamy texture and natural sweetness that are difficult to replace. Other frozen fruits can be used, but the consistency and taste will change. We recommend adding whole fruit after blending, if you wish, such as red berries. You can also add nuts to add texture to the ice cream.
Freezing the banana allows you to obtain a smooth, icy texture without using cream or an ice cream maker, making the recipe quick and easy.
Both are suitable. Dairy milk provides a richer texture, while plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat) offers a lighter option suitable for vegan diets.
Yes, you can store it in an airtight container in the freezer. It is advisable to take it out of the freezer a few minutes before serving, so that it regains its pleasant texture.
Here we've used vanilla whey, but you can use any flavor you like. Any brand will work, so you can use your usual whey without worry. Be sure to check the size of the scoop included in the package; ours holds 30 g (the scoop size is indicated on the package).
