Make creamy, high protein ice cream with just four simple ingredients in your blender. This healthy ice cream hack delivers about 20g of protein per cup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (like monk fruit or stevia)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese, milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
  4. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop like traditional ice cream.
  5. If the mixture is too hard after freezing, let it sit on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping your high protein dessert.

Notes

  • For a thicker texture, use only 3 tablespoons of milk initially.
  • Add 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder for an extra protein boost (adjust liquid if needed).
  • For chocolate protein ice cream, add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder before blending.
  • If you want a richer flavor, use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese, though the protein content may vary slightly.
