Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 200 g Unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 30 g Vanilla whey protein powder
- 2 tbsp Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 120 ml Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them. If the strawberries are large, cut them into smaller pieces.
2. Add the strawberries, Greek yogurt, vanilla whey protein powder, honey, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a blender.
3. Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Pause the blender to scrape down the sides if needed.
4. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.
5. Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container with a lid and smooth it out evenly.
6. Freeze the mixture for at least 3-4 hours or until firm. For best results, stir it every 30-45 minutes for the first 2 hours to prevent ice crystals from forming and to create a creamier texture.
7. Once the ice cream is fully frozen, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping to make it easier to serve.
8. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your high-protein strawberry ice cream!
