Protein Ice Cream

When you think of traditional ice cream, the words “protein,” “fiber,” and “no added sugar” probably don’t come to mind. However, this recipe changes the game, allowing you to indulge your ice cream cravings while enjoying a healthy treat. Savor it immediately for a delightful soft-serve experience, or freeze it for 1-2 hours to achieve perfect scoops. Top it with crunchy nuts and fresh fruits for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
