Raw Banana Almond Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream

1. To make the ice cream base, add the coconut water, coconut meat, bananas, protein powder, paste, vanilla, almond extract, sea salt and almond butter to a high speed blender or food processor and process until very smooth, approximately 1-2 minutes.
2. Gradually add the coconut butter so it gets incorporated and doesn’t clump up, processing another minute or so.
3. Finish the ice cream base by putting it into an ice cream maker and processing according to directions. Set aside.
4. When the ice cream is done churning, remove it from the ice cream maker and stir in chopped almonds and chopped raw dark chocolate.
5. Let sit in freezer for at least four hours or overnight until it firms up. If necessary, let it sit out for about 15 minutes before scooping to soften.
6. Enjoy!
