Classic Chocolate Protein Ice Cream
🍒 Be the first to rate this
My go-to lazy dessert is this Classic Chocolate Protein Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami, because it tastes like a frozen Wendy's Frosty but it's actually keeping me honest with my macros. The cocoa plus the sugar-free chocolate pudding mix is what makes it scoopable instead of the icy hockey puck you get from just freezing a protein shake. I froze a pint flat overnight and spun it before the gym, and my brother (the one who swears protein ice cream is always gross) ate half of it. Tip: if the first spin looks crumbly, add a splash of milk and re-spin once. Don't skip that.
How it spins
Tip: freeze the pint on a level shelf for a full 24 hours. If the first spin looks crumbly, add a splash of milk and run Re-spin.
