High Protein Pistachio Ice Cream (Print Format)

Creamy pistachio ice cream with Greek yogurt and protein powder. Healthy frozen dessert with 15g protein per serving.

# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
02 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1/2 cup pistachio butter or finely ground pistachios
04 - 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder

→ Sweetener & Flavoring

05 - 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
08 - Green food coloring (optional)

→ Mix-ins

09 - 1/4 cup chopped pistachios

# Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, pistachio butter, and protein powder until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no lumps.
02 - Stir in the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract if you're using it. If you want that classic pistachio green color, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until evenly distributed.
03 - Gently fold in the chopped pistachios to give your ice cream some delicious texture and crunch in every bite.
04 - Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it's thick and creamy - usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
05 - Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2-3 hours to get that perfect scoopable texture. This step is important for the best consistency.
06 - Let the ice cream sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping. Serve with extra chopped pistachios on top for the perfect finishing touch.

# Tips:

01 - This ice cream delivers 15g of protein per serving, making it a much healthier dessert option that still tastes indulgent.
02 - Don't have an ice cream maker? Pour the mixture into a container and freeze, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours.
03 - You can adjust the sweetness based on your protein powder and personal taste preferences.
04 - Using high-quality protein powder really makes a difference in both the flavor and final texture of your ice cream.
