This version is designed for maximum protein, thick texture, and minimal sugar — perfect for muscle recovery, fat loss, or simply a healthier dessert.
👉 Approx. 20–25g protein per serving (depending on protein powder used)
🛒 Ingredients (4 servings)
- 2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt (very thick & strained)
- 1 scoop (25–30g) vanilla whey or casein protein powder
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
- 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional: 1 tbsp cream cheese (for extra creaminess)
🔬 Why This Works
- Greek yogurt = natural protein + tang
- Protein powder boosts protein without ruining texture
- Small amount of milk keeps it scoopable
- Optional cream cheese prevents iciness
🥣 Step 1: Blend the Base
In a bowl, whisk together:
- Greek yogurt
- Protein powder
- Milk
- Honey
- Vanilla
- Salt
Whisk until completely smooth (no protein lumps).
Tip: If too thick, add 1 tbsp milk at a time.
🧊 Step 2: Freeze Smartly
- Transfer to a shallow container.
- Freeze for 3–4 hours.
- Stir every 45–60 minutes for smoother texture (2–3 times total).
No ice cream machine needed.
