A high-protein chocolate ice cream sounds like a dream for anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth while staying on track with fitness goals! Here’s a delicious and easy recipe for a creamy, high-protein chocolate ice cream:
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas (frozen) – for natural sweetness and creaminess
- 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder – to intensify the chocolate flavor
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt – adds creaminess and a protein boost
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (optional) – for extra creaminess and healthy fats
- A pinch of sea salt – enhances the chocolatey flavor
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: Dark chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of peanut butter
Instructions:
- Blend Ingredients: Add all ingredients (bananas, protein powder, cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, almond butter, sea salt, and vanilla extract) to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. You might need to scrape down the sides to ensure everything mixes well.
- Freeze: Once smooth, transfer the mixture into a container and smooth the top. Cover the container and freeze for about 2-3 hours, stirring halfway through to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Serve: When the ice cream is set, scoop it into bowls and add your favorite toppings like dark chocolate chips, nuts, or even more nut butter!
- Enjoy! You’ve got a decadent, high-protein chocolate ice cream that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
This recipe not only packs a protein punch but is also creamy and indulgent with rich chocolate flavor. Perfect for a post-workout treat!
