Packed with wholesome ingredients like vanilla whey protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, and erythritol sweetener, this recipe transforms the classic rocky road dessert into a healthier yet equally satisfying option.

In a medium bowl, combine heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla whey protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol sweetener, and vanilla extract.
Using a whisk or an electric mixer, blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and all dry ingredients are fully dissolved.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, fold in mini marshmallows, chopped almonds, and dark chocolate chips using a spatula.
Transfer the ice cream into an airtight container, smoothing the top with the back of the spatula.
Place the container in the freezer and let it sit for at least 2 hours or until the ice cream is firm.
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your high-protein treat!
