Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons almond butter or peanut butter (optional for added creaminess)
  • ¼ cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Dark chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Blend the ingredients: In a blender, combine the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond butter, almond milk, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Taste and adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
  3. Freeze the mixture: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and spread it evenly. If you like, stir in some dark chocolate chips or chunks for extra texture and flavor.
  4. Freeze and stir: Place the container in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to prevent ice crystals from forming and to ensure a smooth texture.
  5. Serve: Once the ice cream is firm but scoopable (about 3-4 hours), it’s ready to enjoy! If it’s too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
