Why you'll love this Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Ice Cream

- Healthy ice cream recipe - less than 150 calories per serving!
- High Protein Ice Cream - this ice cream recipe has 42g of protein for the entire pint!
Ingredients
- Fairlife milk - Fairlife is a great high-protein, low-carb, low-fat milk option. And it doesn’t have those funky gums or emulsifiers than can mess with your stomach! I’ve used both 2% and fat-free versions when making this recipe.
- Banana - I used half a banana so it gives a pop of flavor
- Naked Nutrition Grass-fed Whey Protein - I use the unflavored grass-fed protein powder. By far my favorite protein powder. It mixes great and doesn’t have any weird or gritty aftertaste and mouth feel.
- Vanilla - you can use either liquid vanilla extract or you can even use vanilla bean paste for a richer vanilla flavor
- Stevia extract - I love the convenience of NOW Organic Stevia Extract
- Besti Monk Fruit Erythritol Blend - I’ve been loving the Besti Brand Sweeteners. I have a few of them that I alternate between.
- Cocoa powder - Regular or dark cocoa powder works. Just make sure you don’t use cacao powder for this or it will be bitter and not as sweet.
- Peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
Tips & Tricks
Make sure to make this recipe the day before you want to eat the ice cream. If not you’ll be sad and have to wait 18-24 hours before you’re able to eat it.
Tools to make this easy recipe
- Ninja Blender – I absolutely love my ninja blender. Not only can you use it for the obvious like smoothies and shakes, but it works perfectly for making the ice cream base as well!
- Ninja Creami ice cream maker – I honestly am in love with this Ninja Creami. Before I bought these extra Ninja Creami Pints I was using them every day. Now I make ice cream in my Ninja Creami in bulk, doing 4-5 recipes at a time. I opted for those pints because they were about half the price, but be weary if you need them quickly, it took about 3 weeks to get here. They did have some prime options, but I was being thrifty.
How to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Ice Cream
- Add all of the ingredients into a blender except for the peanut butter. Blend until the ingredients are well combined.
- Transfer the liquid to the Creami ice cream pint and place the lid on. Freeze for 18-24 hours.
- Once the ice cream base is completely frozen, remove it from the freezer.
- Remove the lid and transfer the pint into the Ninja Creami pint holder.
- Place the blade into the lid and then place the lid onto the pint holder.
- Lock the ice cream into the creami and select either the ice cream or soft serve selections.
- If after one round of spinning your ice cream is a little dusty in texture and not creamy, select the “spin again” setting.
- Next, make a hole in the ice cream and drop in the peanut butter. Next, select the “mix-in” setting and let that run. After it’s finished remove the pint from the holder and enjoy.
Substitutions
- For a regular chocolate peanut butter ice cream, substitute the Fairlife milk for half and half and omit the protein powder.
- If you do not have Fairlife milk, you can use organic milk or even chocolate milk. Chocolate milk will increase the calorie and sugar content more than regular milk.
- You can use chocolate protein powder if you do not have unflavored protein powder.
- If you want to lower the fat percentage you can use powdered peanut butter and use fat-free milk.
How to store
Store this high-protein chocolate peanut butter ice cream in the freezer with the lid on and on a flat surface. It should last 3 to 6 months in the freezer as long as the lid is on tight to avoid freezer burn.
