Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Whey protein powder, vanilla flavor
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 cup Fresh fruit, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt and whey protein powder. Stir until the protein powder is evenly incorporated into the yogurt without any lumps.
Add milk, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to the yogurt mixture. Whisk everything together thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
If adding optional ingredients like chopped nuts or fresh fruit, gently fold them into the yogurt mixture.
Transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve ice cream consistency.
Once churned, transfer the ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the container with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer texture.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make scooping easier.
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your creamy, high-protein yogurt ice cream!
