Ingredients

• 2 cups Greek yogurt
• 1 cup Whey protein powder, vanilla flavor
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 1 cup Fresh fruit, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt and whey protein powder. Stir until the protein powder is evenly incorporated into the yogurt without any lumps.

Step 2

Add milk, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to the yogurt mixture. Whisk everything together thoroughly until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

If adding optional ingredients like chopped nuts or fresh fruit, gently fold them into the yogurt mixture.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve ice cream consistency.

Step 5

Once churned, transfer the ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Cover the container with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer texture.

Step 7

Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make scooping easier.

Step 8

Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your creamy, high-protein yogurt ice cream!
