High protein, low-carb and incredibly voluminous, this easy-to-make protein ice cream makes for the perfect post-workout snack! Three Ingredient Protein Ice Cream is the fluffiest, most creamy ice cream snack you’ll ever eat. It’s customizable to suit your taste preferences and the topping choices are endless. Whip some up today and enjoy an anytime ice cream treat!


Ingredients

  • ½ scoop casein or a whey/casein protein powder of choice (I use Quest Multi-Purpose Protein Powder)
  • 1 cup of cubed ice
  • ½ cup non-dairy liquid (I use Unsweetened Vanilla Cashew Milk)
  • ½ tsp xanthan gum
  • ¼ tsp vanilla bean powder toppings of choice

Instructions

Place ice into a food processor and blend into fine shavings. Add protein powder, xanthan gum, vanilla bean powder and milk. Blend for 3 to 5 minutes or until desired thickness is reached. Spoon into a bowl and serve with toppings of choice!

Of course, if you do like a sweeter treat feel free to use a flavored protein powder or add a few drops of stevia to your mix. I can’t convey to you how creamy and fluffy this turns out. It’s like spooning clouds from your bowl to your eagerly awaiting mouth. Pure snack heaven!
