Protein Ice Cream: A Fairy-Tale Delight for Fitness Enthusiasts

Imagine a delicious treat that not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also provides a boost of protein to fuel your body. Protein ice cream with a touch of magic is a magical dessert that combines the indulgence of ice cream with the benefits of protein. The main idea is that protein ice cream is a tasty dessert that is packed with protein, providing a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream. It is a perfect treat for anyone looking to satisfy their craving for something sweet while also supporting their fitness and lifestyle goals. Protein ice cream is made with high-quality protein sources, such as whey or plant-based proteins, which help to build and repair muscles. This is especially beneficial for athletes and fitness enthusiasts who need to consume an adequate amount of protein to support their training and recovery.

Some protein shakes are used for post-workout recovery. Others are intended as convenient meal replacements. Some are used in weight loss programs, where caloric intake may be restricted and high-quality protein is essential. Others still are known as "mass gainers," used to help boost caloric intake and pack on muscle mass. The recipe for a weight-loss shake will be very different from the recipe for a mass gainer shake. Be clear on the purpose of the shakes you make, and use appropriate ingredients accordingly.

You can create a delicious and nutritious protein shake with nothing but high-quality protein powder and low-fat dairy or unsweetened nut milk or even simply with water. Cheap alternative or if you want your kids to have fun making their own as well ;- I have an ice cream mixer for my kitchen aid, but sometimes when you want some quick homemade, it s not convenient to freeze the ice cream maker bowl for 24 hours THEN finally get to make the ice cream you wanted the day before ;-.

This is especially beneficial for athletes and fitness enthusiasts who need to consume an adequate amount of protein to support their training and recovery. In addition to its protein content, protein ice cream often contains fewer calories and less sugar than traditional ice cream. This makes it a guilt-free treat that can be enjoyed by those who are watching their calorie intake or trying to maintain a balanced diet.

Favorite ice cream flavors?

I kind of want to re-create the Ben and Jerry’s Menu. Salted Caramel? S’mores? Phish food? Cherry Garcia? Half baked? I’m making all of these. It’s decided.

I love the sun warrrior protein in the first place! Lovely idea - I think I'll make this into popsicles, being the lazy kind of person ;-)

Hi Kelly, I am not familiar with Sun Warrior Protein and did some research. Even tho it has great basics, it's values (ratiios, etc) are similar to most of the better protein powders out there. Do you think this can be made with a whey protein? Also, did you use the unflavored in the recipe as I am not able to figure that out. I even went to the Quest website to see if yours was like theres but their protein has too many additives. Keeping it pure and simple looks the best but I still need/want the info. Can you or any of the other readers help ol' me? Thanks. Your other mother, marleen

Amazing recipe, as always! I can't wait to try it :) Thanks for sharing how I could make this w/out an ice cream maker. I should seriously just get one! Have a great week! Sammi |Grounded & Surrounded

I am going to HAVE to make this (since I have a gellato addiction). However, as a quicker alternative to making the mixture actual ice cream (and for anyone who doesn't have an actual ice cream maker). You can use a simple science project I did with my girl scout troop ;-) Put your liquid ice cream mixture into a quart freezer bag and seal all the air out of it. Place it into a larger gallon size Zip Lock freezer bag, and add about 4 huge handfuls of ice and about a cup of kosher or sea salt (rock salt is best though) and seal as much air out of the bag as possible. Put on gloves or wrap in a towel (the bag gets SUPER cold) and shake (not super hard. I actually just alternate sides and gently rock it back and forth, then flip and repeat). Do it until your ice cream is the consistency you like (you can feel it through the bag). Also. you get a little upper arm workout. LOL! Cheap alternative or if you want your kids to have fun making their own as well ;-) I have an ice cream mixer for my kitchen aid, but sometimes when you want some quick homemade, it's not convenient to freeze the ice cream maker bowl for 24 hours THEN finally get to make the ice cream you wanted the day before ;-)

Well done! I just made this and it's very good. Creamy and cold. Just one thing though. I will have to double the recipe since my ice cream maker is too large for 1 cup recipe. A puree this concoction with a banana and wow what a treat! thank you!

How much is one scoop? Do you know how many grams or at least some sort of measurement because I know that many other protein powder scoop sizes vary. So I was just wondering. But this looks delicious! And I will definitely be making it.

Hi Kelly! I'm sorry if this question is redundant. I don't have an ice cream maker, so do I make the mixture with 1 cup almond milk, freeze it, and then add another 1/4 cup almond milk in the blender?

Wow, this was amazing! I made it with whey protein powder and used coffee instead of cocoa - incredibly good and I can't believe how healthy it is!

Oh my word you crack me up! I am your newest fan. I will definitely be making this with my protein powder. Wondering if those Ben & Jerrys flavors can be made somewhat healthily. I would love to try. Keep up the awesome work. Pinning now.. Aubrey

• Foodie Fiasco says February 23, 2016 at 5:05 pm

Welcome to the Fiasco family Aubrey! I definitely recommend experimenting with different mix-ins for this recipe. :)

Can I use coconut milk instead of the almond milk? This ice-cream sounds great! Thanks for sharing these healthy recipes!

Kelly I love the recipe and the sprinkles! lol When I saw the calorie content I was like "whaaattt!" Great work, keep it up! :)

I made this with Jay Robb vanilla whey protein powder. It was very easy and made a nice treat. I used dark cocoa powder and added 1/2 tsp instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. It only took 10 minutes in my ice cream machine. I will make this again, maybe experimenting with different flavors of protein powder. Thanks!

• Kelly M says September 7, 2016 at 10:54 am

I made this once with chocolate whey protein powder and everything else as written. It was a quick tasty treat! I made it again with peanut butter whey protein powder and 1 tbsp protein flour instead of cocoa powder and it was AMAZING!

• Pan says May 27, 2016 at 4:50 pm

Sorry, but how do you arrive at 120 calories? Looks like a scoop of Sun Warrior is 100 calories, almond milk is at least 30 calories, and that's not counting the cocoa powder, etc. Am I looking at the wrong protein powder? If I use my Jay Robb powder and unsweetened almond milk, it will still only be at 150 calories for the entire yummy dessert, so thanks VERY much for posting this. I cannot wait to try this.

You have a hilarious writing style! We really have to make an effort to come up with even funnier stuff. Keep it up :D

Thank you so much Hauke! I just checked out your website and I love it. We should work together some time!

Being British,what is the measurement for 1 scoop,i would like to try this recipe as just been diagnosed type 2 diabetic but still like something indulgent now and again.

• Kelly M says May 12, 2017 at 8:16 am

Great recipe! I tweaked it a bit to make low fat, high protein Strawberry Ice Cream. Used Clover Non-Fat Milk (10g Protein, 0g Fat) vs. Almond Milk, 2 Scoops of Chocorite Strawberry Cream whey protein mix (24g Protein, 3g Fat) and left out the Cocoa Powder. Blended and poured into a Breville Smart Scoop ice cream maker. Results - amazing! Just like soft serve ice cream.

I was really disappointed with Protein ice cream with a touch of magic. The flavor was nothing special and it had a weird texture that I couldn't get past. It also didn't have that creamy mouthfeel that I expect from ice cream. Overall, I wouldn't waste my money on this product again.

- Sarah - 2 stars

I had high hopes for Protein ice cream with a touch of magic, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The flavor was okay, but there was an artificial aftertaste that lingered. The texture was also a bit strange, almost grainy, which made it hard to enjoy. I'll be sticking to regular ice cream from now on.

- Mark - 2 stars

I gave Protein ice cream with a touch of magic a try, but it just wasn't for me. The flavor was too artificially sweet for my liking, and the magic touch that was promised was nowhere to be found. I also found the texture to be lackluster, it didn't have that smooth and creamy consistency that I love in ice cream. I won't be buying this again.
