Feel free to swap the cookie dough for store-bought chocolate chip cookies for an even easier (but lower protein) version.

Blue Vanilla Protein Ice Cream

🩵🍦Ingredients

• 1 cup canned full fat coconut milk

• 1/2 cup almond milk

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

• 1 scoop vegan protein powder (*see note below)

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1 tsp blue matcha powder or 1/2 tsp blue spirulina

Protein Cookie Dough Balls (makes 26 tsp sized balls)

🍪 Ingredients

• 1/4 cup unflavoured protein powder

• 1/4 cup almond butter

• 2 tbsp maple syrup

• 2 tbsp mini dairy-free/dark chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life minis)

• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

1. Cookie dough balls - combine, roll into little balls, then freeze

2. Ice cream - combine & mix: you could use a blender, an immersion blender, a milk frother, or even the Creami on milkshake mode to mix it all together.

3. Pour into Creami tub(s) & freeze overnight (OR pour into ice cube trays)

4. "Spin" on Lite Ice Cream Mode (OR put your frozen cubes into a food processor & blend until smooth & creamy)

5. Dig a hole down the middle & add in half of your protein cookie dough balls (by hand for larger chunks or without a ninja creami), or use mix-in mode for smaller, more dispersed chunks

6. Top with remaining cookie dough balls & enjoy!

NOTE:

*I used 1 scoop of Now Foods Unflavoured Organic Pea Protein Powder giving us +24g of protein - you can do up to 2 scoops but it will get MUCH thicker, more like mousse/pudding - still delicious, but less ice cream-like
