Blizzard Base
- 2 bananas, peeled, cut into quarters, and frozen
- 1 scoop natural vegan vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon natural cashew butter
Instructions
- Freeze the Bananas: Peel the bananas, cut them into quarters, and place in the freezer until completely frozen. This is essential to achieving the creamy texture of the blizzard.

- Blend the Blizzard Base: In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen banana chunks, unsweetened almond milk, vegan vanilla protein powder, and natural cashew butter. Blend until smooth and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream.
- Assemble the Blizzard: Divide the banana ice cream mixture evenly between two glasses.
- Add Cookie Dough Balls: Stir in two cookie dough balls per glass, mixing gently so that the dough is evenly distributed.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for a deliciously refreshing and healthy cookie dough blizzard treat.
