Protein Powder Ice Cream Recipes
Recipes by Chelle Stafford
My protein ice cream recipes do not use added sugars or artificial sweeteners. The only sugar you'll have in these, is from fruit, if you choose to use it. The fats I've used and recommend are: peanut butter (natural), almond butter, coconut butter, coconut oil, real butter, and flavored oils. There are all kinds of fun combinations you can make! I use extracts freely, as well, as they add tons of flavor without changing the nutritional profile of the ice-cream. This tastes like a treat... truly! Creamy and amazing, I've enjoyed my protein powder ice cream nightly while I prep for my Figure Competition!
Enjoy!!
There are two ways to make this... the first is in an ice-cream maker, the second in ziploc bags.

ICE CREAM MAKER INSTRUCTIONS:
I use a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker I just blend my ingredients, turn on the machine, pour it in, and 20 minutes later I have ice-cream!
ZIPLOC INSTRUCTIONS:
Back in junior-high, we made ziploc ice-cream... where you put ice and salt in a big bag, and your ice cream ingredients in a smaller bag, then the small bag goes in the big bag (sealed of course), and you shake... voila! ice cream!
Fill a gallon size ziploc bag about 2/3 full of ice.
Add 1/2 cup table salt (don't waste good sea-salt on this, use the cheap iodized stuff, it's only to make the ice colder).
Pour your ice cream mix into a sandwich size ziploc bag & seal it.
Place the ice-cream bag into the larger bag. Seal.
Shake for about 5 minutes or until ice-cream reaches the consistency you prefer.
Remove the inner bag and quickly rinse it off (so you don't get salt in your ice cream when you open the bag).
Dump ice-cream into a bowl and enjoy!
