Protein Ice Cream Recipe Low Carb

Ice cream.  ICE CREAM.  IIICCEE CRREEEEAAAAAMM!!!  Sorry, I’ll try to contain myself from now on, I’m just a little (read: extremely) excited to share this recipe.  Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is an all-time classic…  and now it’s been made totally, utterly, and completely guilt-free with this Healthy Vanilla Protein Ice Cream recipe.  This sweet and creamy, mouthwatering amazingness is refined sugar free, low carb, low fat, and high protein, but you would NEVER ever ever suspect it.  Ohhhh yes.

In my first trial, I tried to make a no-churn ice cream by blending all of the ingredients in a blender, pouring everything into a ceramic loaf pan, then freezing until firm.  Sadly, it froze into a rock hard brick, and even after thawing it for a while, each scoop was super icy and crystallized.

In the second trial, I gave up on the no-churn ice cream idea and used my ice cream maker.  The texture was spot on, but it wasn’t flavorful enough and could be a bit sweeter.

In the third (and final) trial, I added more stevia extract and some more Homemade Vanilla Paste.  To achieve that “true” ice cream flavor, I also added a tiny bit of butter flavoring.  My first bite?  FOODGASM ON A SPOON.

This Healthy Vanilla Protein Ice Cream is delectable all on its own, sandwiched in between two Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies, on top of a warm slice of Citrus Pound Cake, added to a Red Velvet Smoothie to transform it into a milkshake, or served alongside some Homemade Maraschino Cherries!  No matter how you serve this sugar free ice cream, you’ll be glad you did.

This Vanilla Protein Ice Cream is sweet, creamy, mouthwatering amazingness! Oh, and it's refined sugar free, low carb, low fat, and high protein too!

After freezing solid, I find the best way to thaw the ice cream is in the fridge for a couple hours, rather than sitting on the counter or some time in the microwave.

Did you know that typical storebought ice cream has 500 calories per cup?  Yeah, for real…  compared to 1 cup of Ben & Jerry’s Vanilla Ice Cream, 1 cup of my Healthy Vanilla Protein Ice Cream has:

I really couldn’t ask for more.  Actually yes, I could — I could most certainly ask for another bowl full of this Healthy Vanilla Protein Ice Cream.

Next, you’ll need to add yourchilled coconut milk into the blender and blend for just a minute or two. You want the texture to be silky and smooth. Chilling it prior is to ensure the cream separates from the liquid. The entire can will be used, but it helps with consistency.

Transfer to the loaf pan and place in the freezer. For the first hour, stir the ice cream every 20 minutes, three times. Then allow the ice cream to freeze properly.

As mentioned earlier, this protein powder ice cream is a blank canvas that you can flavor up in many ways! Here are some ideas:

Low Carb Almond Protein Ice Cream Recipe

To store: Protein ice cream should always be covered completely in the freezer, in a freezer-friendly container. The ice cream can be frozen for at least five days.

To re-freeze: Re-freezing the ice cream is not recommended, as it will build up ice particles. If you’ve refrozen it and it is no longer creamy, let it soften and re-blend it in the blender. It will have a soft serve consistency.

The best protein powder for protein ice cream is brown rice, casein, or pea protein. Avoid using whey protein powder as it tends to freeze hard and yield an icey treat instead of a creamy one.

Low Carb Mason Jar Ice Cream

You can make protein ice cream creamier by blending through a frozen banana, raw cashews or adding a high fat element, like cream or nut butter.

Protein Ice Cream (just 3 Ingredients!)

While it might seem like eating ice cream would counteract all the hard work and benefits of exercising, the ingredients in this wholesomesnack are the sameingredients you’d find in a post-workout smoothie.

Feel free to add a handful of chia seeds or shredded coconut, sub the almond butter with peanut butter or coconut butter, and change up the flavor by experimenting with different protein powders until you find your favorite.

To ensure good results, I recommend going with a brand and flavor of protein powder you already know you like, either sweetener or unsweetened.

Some readers swear by casein, whey protein, or egg white protein. But as a vegan, I like to make protein ice cream using a plant based powder instead.

Of my favorite options include a blend of ingredients such as hemp seed, brown rice, pea protein, or pumpkin seed protein. Chocolate soy protein works as well.

Coconut Milk Ice Cream

To get the fancy soft-serve ice cream look, I piped the nice cream through a bag fitted with a 1M star tip.

I use the same star tip for many other healthy dessert recipes, including the frosting on my Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes and on this Vegan Cheesecake Recipe.

Simply omit all of the cocoa powder. Use either your favorite vanilla protein powder or plain protein powder and pure vanilla extract to taste.
