Instructions:
Ensure you have all the ingredients measured and ready to go. This will make the process smoother and quicker.
In a blender, combine the 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese, 1/2 scoop of whey protein powder, 1 tbsp of peanut butter, and 1/4 cup of 2% milk.
Blend the mixture on medium to high speed until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no chunks of cottage cheese or peanut butter remaining. You may need to stop the blender periodically to scrape down the sides.
Taste the mixture and, if desired, you can adjust the sweetness or flavor. For more sweetness, you can add a small amount of honey or a low-calorie sweetener. Blend again if any adjustments are made.
Transfer the smooth mixture into a freezer-safe container. Use a spatula to scrape out all of the mixture from the blender.
Place the container in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until it reaches your preferred ice cream consistency. For the best texture, stir the mixture every hour to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Once the ice cream is fully frozen, scoop it into bowls or cones. If it's too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving.
Enjoy your Peanut Butter Cottage Cheese Protein Ice Cream as a nutritious and delicious treat! Optional: Top with a drizzle of extra peanut butter, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas for added flavor.
Tips:
- Ensure the cottage cheese is well-blended to achieve a smoother texture, as some might find its original texture too chunky for ice cream.
- For a more intense peanut butter flavor, consider adding an extra tablespoon of peanut butter or using a peanut butter-flavored whey protein powder.
- If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, add a bit of your favorite sweetener, such as honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute like stevia.
- For a thicker consistency, freeze the mixture for at least 2-3 hours or until it reaches your desired texture, stirring occasionally to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Consider adding mix-ins such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or sliced bananas for additional flavor and texture.
Peanut butter cottage cheese protein ice cream is not only a tasty treat but also a great way to include more protein in your diet. By blending simple, wholesome ingredients, you can create a dessert that’s both satisfying and nutritious. Enjoy this ice cream as a post-workout snack, a healthy dessert, or anytime you crave something sweet yet healthy.
