With these common household items, we recommend this delicious protein banana ice cream! Easy, protein packed recipes are quite popular these days as more scientific information becomes top of mind regarding the importance of a protein rich diet. “Protein is found in essentially every part of the body,” explains Dr. Shane Volney, “Amino acids, found in dietary protein, are vital for building and maintaining healthy muscle, bone, skin and hair. They also play key roles in maintaining our body’s immune system, hormones and pH balance.  They aid in numerous bodily functions such as digestion, blood clotting and metabolism.”
