Create a creamy, high-protein frozen treat without an ice cream maker. This simple recipe delivers a guilt-free dessert perfect for satisfying sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat for best texture)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or casein blend works well)
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (monk fruit, stevia, or maple syrup, to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it is completely smooth and all lumps from the protein powder are gone. You want a very smooth base for the best texture.
  3. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, like a loaf pan or a small plastic container with a lid.
  4. Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  5. Place the container in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or until firm.
  6. For the creamiest texture, remove the ice cream from the freezer about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy your high protein dessert.

Notes

  • For a richer, more decadent texture, substitute 1/4 cup of the Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup of light cream cheese, softened.
  • If you prefer a different flavor, swap vanilla protein powder for chocolate or salted caramel protein powder.
  • If you find the mixture too thick to mix, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach a thick, pourable consistency.
