Creamy Strawberry Protein Soft-Serve
Prep time: 5 mins | Yield: 1 large bowl
Ingredients
- 1 scoop (~30g) strawberry protein powder
- 1 1/2 cups (~200g) frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup (60g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese for an extra creamy base)
- 3–4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice, added gradually)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional sweetener: A squirt of liquid stevia or 1 tsp honey, to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Base: Add the frozen strawberries, Greek yogurt, strawberry protein powder, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk to a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Blend & Scrape: Pulse until the berries start breaking down. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula.
- Adjust Liquid:Add the remaining milk 1 tablespoon at a time, blending continuously on high, until a thick, soft-serve consistency forms.
Pro Tip: Keep the liquid to a minimum! If you add too much milk, it becomes a smoothie instead of ice cream. Use a tamper/plunger if your blender has one to keep things moving.
- Serve: Scoop immediately into a chilled bowl.
