Homemade Protein Ice Cream

We all know that protein is important. Not just the most satisfying Macronutrientsproteins are also components of cells. It’s important in the fitness/health world. Because it helps us build and hold our muscles. Muscle is “hunger” than fat and has a higher energy demand, so we want to help our bones and protect our metabolism.

I tend to recommend 1-2 grams of protein per pound of ideal body weight (depending on so many factors, such as body composition, age, goals, preferred diet strategies, etc.), but I would like to aim for a 1 palm-sized diet with each meal and snack.

This protein ice cream is a creamy and delicious dessert and packs in amazing protein. It’s a great way to add diversity to your protein source while enjoying sweet treats. Today I’m sharing recipes so you can recreate them at home!

• Protein Powder of Selection – Whey Protein Powder and Pea Protein Powder are the best. This step is important and use your beloved protein powder! If you’re looking for ideas, try Truvani or Foods now (Give 20% off Fitnessista). Choose protein powders with a good texture and taste. This is important. You can use vanilla protein powder or chocolate protein powder.

• Vanilla extract
• Sea salt
• Stevia* that tastes (you can also use maple syrup if you don’t like the taste of stevia. Sugar alcohol Munch my stomach)
• Chocolate Protein for Ice Cream: 4 oz half sweet chocolate chips

How to make homemade protein ice cream

Step 1

Make sure your ice cream maker bowl is frozen! If not, prepare the day before you make the ice cream. You can also make ice cream in a chunky atmosphere, but the texture is different.

Step 2

Add milk, chocolate chips, vanilla and sea salt to the pot on the stove and simmer. When the chocolate chips melt, whisk the protein powder. Soak the spoon in the mixture (chill it before tasting!) and add the necessary sweeteners if necessary.

Step 3

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker (I love ninja cream) and turn it on. It takes 20-30 minutes for soft serve to be consistent. For hard ice cream, place the mixture in the bread and freeze for 3-4 hours. (You can also use a blender or food processor in a pinch.)

Step 4

Have fun and want! Customize your flavor by adding the toppings or mixins below!

Ice cream topping ideas:

• Add 1/2 cup of peppermint extract and add crushed candy cane for holiday snacks
• Swirl the peanut butter into the top or ice cream maker
• Add chocolate chips, melt chocolate chips on top, dash cocoa powder
• Swirl with some fruit jam
• Top with fresh berries
• Mix some ground espresso beans into the ice cream maker (and use coffee instead of water!)
• Add almond extract to your vanilla protein ice cream to add a beautiful almond flavour and top with sliced ​​almonds
• Add unsweetened sugar-free shredded coconut and pecans

This is the perfect recipe!
