- 3/4 cup (6 ounces) almond milk (or milk of your choice, i use unsweetened vanilla almond breeze by blue diamond)
- 15 ice cubes.. maybe more!
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1-2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder (depending on how chocolatey you like it)
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (this is the KEY ingredient)
- 1/4 tsp guar gum (or use more xanthan if you don’t have guar)
- sweetener of choice (in this one i used 1/4 of a frozen banana for my sweetener, but i always switch it up. other ideas: stevia packet, a few dates, xylitol, or agave)
- blend, blend, blend!
I found this recipe on Pinterest and am dying to try it! As the weather is turning around and summer is fast approaching, I have already been faced with more ice cream than is acceptable. I have been having a hard time saying no to it all, so I wanted to find a healthy, ice cream-like recipe. This one looked particularly good as it looks creamy and thick like ice cream, but it is healthy and a good way to get protein! Stop worrying about finding ways to avoid ice cream, you can indulge in a delicious, guilt free treat!
