Protein Ice Cream Bowl (Printable Version)

A creamy, high-protein frozen bowl blending yogurt, almond milk, protein powder, and fresh toppings.

# What You Need:

→ Ice Cream Base

01 - 1 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt (or skyr)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
03 - 2 scoops (about 2 oz) vanilla or chocolate protein powder
04 - 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or preferred sweetener
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of salt

→ Toppings (optional)

07 - 1/4 cup fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
08 - 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
09 - 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
10 - 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
11 - 1 teaspoon chia seeds or hemp seeds

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine Greek yogurt, almond milk, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth and uniform.
02 - Pour the mixture evenly into a freezer-safe pint container suitable for ice cream preparation.
03 - Place the container in the freezer for at least 8 hours or overnight until the mixture is fully solidified.
04 - Remove from freezer. If using an ice cream machine like the Ninja Creami, process the pint according to the device instructions using the Ice Cream mode.
05 - If desired, reprocess the ice cream or add a small amount of milk and spin again to achieve a softer texture.
06 - Scoop the ice cream into bowls and garnish with preferred toppings such as berries, nut butters, chocolate chips, or seeds. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like indulgence but delivers 28 grams of protein per bowl, making post-workout recovery feel like a treat.
  • The whole thing lives in your freezer, waiting for you—no ice cream maker required if you don't have a Creami.
  • You control every ingredient, so you know exactly what's going into your body.
02 -
  • Don't skip the pinch of salt—it's the difference between tasting like plain frozen yogurt and tasting like actual ice cream.
  • If your mixture separates slightly in the freezer, don't panic; the Creami will blend it back together beautifully.
  • Cheaper protein powders tend to get grainy when frozen, so investing in a decent brand saves your entire experience.
03 -
  • Freeze your bowl or serving spoons for 5 minutes before scooping so the ice cream stays frozen longer while you eat.
  • Layer your toppings instead of mixing them in—it keeps everything distinct and lets you taste each component separately, which is honestly more fun.
