Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 2 scoops Vanilla whey protein powder
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sweetener (like erythritol or stevia blend, adjust based on sweetness preference)
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free or regular, as desired)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
In a blender, combine the almond milk, vanilla whey protein powder, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and granulated sweetener.
Add the ice cubes to the blender to create a thicker and creamier consistency.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the texture is too thick for your blender, add 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk and blend again.
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container with a lid.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly into the mixture.
Cover the container and freeze for approximately 2-3 hours or until the ice cream achieves a scoopable consistency. Stir it every 30 minutes during the freezing process to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Scoop and enjoy your high-protein vanilla ice cream topped with extra chocolate chips if desired!
