You can make this creamy, high-protein vanilla ice cream without an ice cream maker. It is a simple, macro-friendly dessert that satisfies 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)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, like a loaf pan or a small airtight container. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  4. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.
  5. For the best texture, remove the container from the freezer 10 to 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy your healthy homemade ice cream.

Notes

  • For an even creamier texture, consider using a blend of 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup cottage cheese (blended smooth first).
  • If you own a Ninja Creami, this base works perfectly; process it according to your machine’s instructions, then add a splash more milk if needed for re-spins.
  • You can substitute vanilla protein powder with chocolate or salted caramel flavor for variety.
