Print Recipe

A creamy, protein-packed ice cream made with just four simple ingredients, perfect for a guilt-free treat that supports calorie deficit goals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (30g) vanilla or chocolate whey isolate protein powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain non-fat Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, stevia, or monk fruit)

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 cup (30g) of protein powder, 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt, ½ cup (120 ml) almond milk, and 2 tablespoons of natural sweetener.
  2. Add Greek yogurt, almond milk, and sweetener into a blender. Start on low speed, then increase to medium-high and blend for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  3. Slowly add protein powder while blending on low to prevent clumps. Blend for another 20-30 seconds until well incorporated and mixture is thick but pourable.
  4. Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container and spread evenly to about 1.5-inch thickness.
  5. Freeze for at least 2 hours. For softer texture, check at 90 minutes and stir gently to break up ice crystals. Freeze longer for firmer texture.
  6. Scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes if too hard.

Notes

For softer ice cream, stir gently after 90 minutes of freezing to prevent icy chunks. Use whey isolate protein powder for best texture. Plant-based protein powders may alter creaminess. Sweetener choice affects flavor; honey or maple syrup recommended for best taste. Mix-ins like berries or nuts can be folded in after blending before freezing.
