Notes

The serving size is based on 3/4 cup portions. This makes anywhere from 2-4 servings depending on the size of your bananas and your desired portion size. 
You may want to add more liquid until the desired consistency is reached. 
You can double the amount of protein powder for higher protein ice cream.
For a thicker consistency, freeze for an hour before eating.
