3 scoops Protein powder of choice – whey protein and pea protein will work the best. This step is important and make sure to use a protein powder you love! If you’re looking for ideas, try out Truvani or Now Foods (use FITNESSISTA for 20% off). Pick a protein powder that has a good texture and tastes good – this is crucial. You can use vanilla protein powder or chocolate protein powder, depending on what flavor ice cream you’d like to make.2 cans of full-fat coconut milk – you can also use unsweetened almond milk BUT the coconut milk is going to give it the rich flavor and texture. If you are not dairy-free, you could absolutely use whole milk (which I recommend for flavor, texture, and nutrients over skim milk)1 teaspoon vanillaPinch of sea saltStevia to taste* (You can also use maple syrup if you don’t like the taste of Stevia. I avoid other artificial sugars because the sugar alcohols upset my stomach)For chocolate protein ice cream: 4 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips

Step 1

Make sure that the bowl of your ice cream maker is frozen! If it’s not, get that ready the day prior to making the ice cream. You can also make the ice cream in a loaf pan, but it will have a different texture.

Step 2

In a saucepan on the stove, add the milk, chocolate chips, vanilla, and sea salt, and bring up to a simmer. As the chocolate chips melt, whisk in the protein powder. Dip a spoon into the mixture (make sure to let it cool before tasting!) and add any sweetener you’d like as needed.

Step 3

Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and turn it on. It will take 20-30 minutes until it has the texture of soft serve. For a firmer ice cream, place the mixture into a loaf pan and freeze for 3-4 hours.

Step 4
