You need this easy, creamy, high-protein ice cream recipe that requires no ice cream maker. It is a macro-friendly dessert perfect for satisfying sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat for best texture)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (like erythritol or maple syrup, adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, almond milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
  2. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy whisk to mix the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and there are no lumps of protein powder remaining. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, like a loaf pan or a small plastic tub. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  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. Freeze for a minimum of 6 hours, or until firm.
  6. Before serving, let the ice cream sit on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly for the best, creamy texture. Scoop and enjoy your high-protein dessert.

Notes

  • For an even creamier result, you can use a food processor to blend the ingredients until very smooth before freezing.
  • If you own a Ninja Creami machine, use this mixture as your base, freeze it solid, and then process it according to the machine’s instructions, adding a splash more milk if needed during the re-spin cycle.
  • This recipe avoids banana, making it suitable for those who dislike that flavor in their frozen treats.
