Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Vanilla-flavored whey protein powder
- 1 cup Natural peanut butter
- 2 cups Skim milk
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla-flavored whey protein powder and skim milk. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and the protein powder is completely dissolved.
Add the natural peanut butter to the bowl. Stir until it is thoroughly incorporated and the mixture is well-blended.
Mix in the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and even.
Pour the ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the mixture until it reaches the desired consistency, typically about 20-25 minutes.
If using, fold in the chopped peanuts for added texture, or simply use them as a topping when serving.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours to harden further.
Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Scoop into bowls, garnish with extra chopped peanuts if desired, and enjoy your high-protein treat!
