The protein craze has totally taken over. And I’ll admit, I’ve been fully indoctrinated. But when it comes to protein desserts, the one thing that’s lacking is a truly healthy high-protein ice cream. They’re all made with a zillion ingredients and additives, and for some reason most still don’t even resemble ice cream. That is, until I developed this 2-ingredient protein ice cream recipe. Just milk and protein powder – that’s it! Frozen, then churned in a Ninja Creami for a seriously delicious high-protein frozen treat. It’s also totally easy to customize with your favorite flavors and mix-ins. Next time I plan on mixing in some of my 4-ingredient protein brownie chunks for even more protein – YUM!
Yes! You can make this protein ice cream in a standard ice cream maker by following the same ingredient ratios and churning according to your machine’s instructions until thick and creamy.
One serving contains 35 grams of protein and about 300 calories.
Absolutely! Use any flavored protein powder—chocolate, cookies & cream, or strawberry all work perfectly.
I used Be Well By Kelly Vanilla Protein Powder, purchased on Amazon, but any vanilla or unflavored protein powder works.

I’ve always been a ‘see-food’ eater, but I’m starting to see the value in tracking.
The mental clarity I get from a higher-fat diet is actually surprising.
Have you noticed any drop in strength when you lower the carbs this much?
