Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 60 g vanilla protein powder
- 120 g plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 30 g powdered erythritol or another low-carb sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 15 g unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate flavor)
- 1 tsp xanthan gum (optional, for creamier texture)
- 2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
In a blender, combine the almond milk, vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, erythritol, vanilla extract, and xanthan gum (if using). Add the cocoa powder if you want a chocolate version.
Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined, ensuring that there are no lumps of protein powder or yogurt.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. This step may take 1-2 minutes depending on your blender's power.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a little more erythritol or sweetener and blending again.
Once the desired texture and flavor are achieved, pour the mixture into an airtight container if you plan to freeze it for a firmer consistency. Spread the surface evenly.
If you prefer a soft-serve consistency, enjoy immediately by scooping the mixture into bowls.
For firmer ice cream, freeze the mixture for about 1-2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up any ice crystals and ensure creaminess.
Serve and enjoy your low-carb, protein-packed ice cream!
