Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Vanilla whey protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Matcha powder
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the full-fat coconut milk, vanilla whey protein powder, matcha powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend on medium speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.
If using chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition, stir them into the mixture with a spoon after blending.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, typically around 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours for a firmer texture.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Serve and enjoy your high protein creamy matcha ice cream, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of matcha powder or chia seeds.
