Protein Ice Cream


We've heard a lot of things the last 8 years in the supplement biz. And nothing comes up more then the complaint "I miss ice cream!"
 So we though, humm how do you get the yummy goodness of ice cream without feeling bad about it? Then it hit us, Protein Ice Cream!!!


So after much trial and error we've come up with OUR version of protein ice cream!



Ingredients

  • 1 big tub of 2% Greek Yogurt (roughly 500 g)
  • 1/2 cup of Intek Evolution Spread a thin layer of the mixture  nto the Tupperware. The thinner the layer, the faster it will chill.
  • Place in freezer for an hour.
  • Directions
  1. In a large Tupperware container—ideally square shaped for the increased surface area—mix yogurt with the protein powder until you get a smooth mixture.
  2. Spread a thin layer of the mixture onto the Tupperware. The thinner the layer, the faster it will chill.
  3. Place in freezer for an hour.
  4. After an hour, take it out, and give it a churn. Mix your protein-packed mixture with a spoon or, better yet, a fork to break up potential clumps. Stick it back in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Notes
1. Consider melting a square or two of dark chocolate and pouring that on top of the 
ice cream. It'll congeal on impact, creating a delicious chocolate shell.
2. You can make this recipe with casein too. If you do, be sure to use a bit over 1/4 
cup of casein, since it will absorb a lot more of the moisture from the yogurt than the 
whey does.
3. Try this with different flavors of whey, and consider adding some extra flavoring 
to the mixture. Cinnamon or vanilla pods would mesh well with this ice cream.
4. To heighten the banana flavor, mush a ripe banana in with the yogurt and whey. 
5. You could use 0 percent Greek yogurt to make this too. However, bear in mind 
that 2 percent or even full-fat yogurt will yield a creamier batch.

So there you have it a way to enjoy the summer heat and not feel like yoru doing damage to your diet, feel free to stop by and check out our other protein ice cream recipes were we use protein bars and paleo protein!!!
