Description

This Chocolate Protein Ice Cream recipe is a delicious, high-protein frozen treat perfect for a post-workout snack or a healthy dessert. Using a combination of chocolate protein powder and a zero sugar honey substitute, it offers a creamy texture and rich chocolate flavor without the guilt. Made easily in the Ninja Creami ice cream maker, it’s a quick way to enjoy homemade protein-packed ice cream with optional crunchy walnut topping for added texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1 serving (packet) electrolyte drink mix (I used Saltt Cocoa Loco)
  • 1 serving (scoop or packet or 1/2 cup) chocolate protein powder (I used Chocolate Keto Chow)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1–2 tbsp zero sugar honey substitute (allulose)

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Mixing Ingredients: In the Ninja Creami ice cream cup, combine 1.5 cups of water, 1 packet of electrolyte drink mix, 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, and 1-2 tablespoons of zero sugar honey substitute (allulose). Stir thoroughly until all powders and ingredients are fully dissolved and evenly mixed.
  2. Freezing: Place the filled ice cream cup into the freezer and freeze overnight to ensure the mixture is completely solidified for optimal texture when processed.
  3. Creaming Process: After freezing, insert the ice cream cup into the Ninja Creami machine and process using the sorbet setting. You may need to spin the mixture 2 to 3 times to achieve the desired ice cream consistency, which should be creamy and smooth.
  4. Serving: Once the ice cream reaches the preferred texture, scoop into bowls and optionally top with chopped walnuts for a crunchy contrast. Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed chocolate ice cream treat.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of honey substitute to taste depending on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Freezing overnight is important for best texture in the Ninja Creami.
  • If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, alternative ice cream makers with similar functions may work but results may vary.
  • Avocado oil adds creaminess without affecting flavor; it can be substituted with a similar neutral oil if needed.
  • Chopped walnuts add texture and healthy fats but are optional for nut-free diets.
