Protein-powered ice cream



I read this in IM mag and thought it was a great treat.

Motivation lacking lately? Solve your gym slump with some ice cream. Protein powder has been the leader in the pre- and postworkout meal plan, and I’ve put a new spin it. Why drink it with a straw when you can eat it with a spoon? The thought of getting to enjoy chocolate protein ice cream after a hard workout is all the motivation I need to get in the gym. It’s low carb, low sugar and loaded with protein, which makes this new postworkout meal a crowd pleaser and muscle increaser. Get creative with your protein powders and find a flavor that fits your taste.

Chocolate Protein Ice Cream

1 tub sugar-free Cool Whip

2 packages Dymatize ISO-100 chocolate flavor protein powder

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon chocolate almond milk

1 tablespoon zero-calorie, sugar-free chocolate syrup

1/2 cup sliced strawberries

Combine almond milk, protein, Cool Whip and cocoa. Mix in a freezer-safe bowl. Place the mixture in the freezer and let it set for four hours. Top with chocolate syrup and strawberries. Serves two.
