• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Add a little milk if needed to get everything moving.
4. Stir through the rainbow sprinkles.
5. Pour into a shallow container and freeze for around 2–3 hours, stirring once or twice while it freezes.

7. Finish with plenty of sprinkles.
