Best Protein Ice Cream

by

This protein-packed ice cream is the perfect guilt-free treat for satisfying your sweet tooth while fueling your body. Whether you’re looking for a post-workout snack or a low-calorie dessert,

Ingredients (Serves 1-2)

  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1 scoop of protein powder (vanilla or chocolate works best, but any flavor is fine)
  • 1 frozen banana, sliced (for creaminess)
  • 1 cup of ice cubes
  • 1-2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate lovers)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Sweetener to taste (stevia, honey, or maple syrup—if needed)
  • Pinch of salt (to enhance flavors)

    Instructions

    1. Blend it up: Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until the mixture is thick, creamy, and smooth. You may need to stop and scrape the sides or use a tamper to keep it moving.
    2. Check the texture: If it’s too thick, add a splash of almond milk. If it’s too thin, toss in a few more ice cubes or a small handful of frozen fruit.
    3. Freeze (optional): For a firmer, scoopable texture, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze for 1-2 hours. Stir every 30 minutes for the best consistency.
    4. Serve and enjoy: Scoop your protein ice cream into a bowl, and top with your favorite toppings like nuts, berries, granola, or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup.

    5. Tips for Success

      • Experiment with protein powder flavors—cookies & cream, strawberry, or peanut butter can create a whole new dessert experience.
      • Want extra creaminess? Add 2-3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or a splash of canned coconut milk.
      • Avoid ice crystals by using frozen fruit as a base instead of too much ice.

      Enjoy this healthy twist on ice cream—rich in flavor, high in protein, and totally satisfying!
