High-Protein Vanilla Whey Sorbet (Sorvete Proteico)

1.Ensure the banana slices are completely frozen, ideally for at least 6 hours or overnight.

2.Place the frozen banana slices, almond milk, vanilla whey protein powder, vanilla extract, optional sweetener, and salt into a high-powered blender or food processor.

3.Begin blending on low speed, using the tamper tool constantly to push the frozen ingredients down towards the blades. Stop and scrape down the sides as necessary.

4.Continue blending, increasing the speed gradually. The mixture will initially look crumbly, then form a thick paste, and finally transform into a smooth, soft-serve consistency.

5.If the mixture is too thick to blend, add almond milk one tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition, until the desired creamy texture is achieved.

6.Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer, scoopable sorbet consistency.

7.If freezing for later, allow the sorbet to soften on the counter for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving.
