In a blender, combine the vanilla-flavored protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, low-fat Greek yogurt, pure vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup.
Blend the mixture on medium speed until smooth and fully combined.
Add the xanthan gum and a pinch of sea salt to the blender.
Blend again on high speed for 30-45 seconds to thicken the mixture slightly.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover it tightly, and freeze for 2-3 hours. During the freezing process, whisk or stir the mixture every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals and achieve a creamy texture.
Once the ice cream has reached your desired consistency, scoop into bowls and serve immediately, or transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 1 week.
