All the best summer snacks feature ice cream.
You just can’t beat a scoop of cold, sweet ice cream to finish off an evening meal — or, better yet, to refresh & refuel yourself right after a tough workout. That’s why we’re absolutely loving this super-easy protein ice cream recipe from @healthy_floflo.
Made with just 3 simple ingredients, yoghurt, ricotta, and Impact Whey Protein, we promise it tastes every bit as delicious as the shop-bought stuff, only it comes with a fraction of the fat and sugar content. That’s got to be a win, right?
It doesn’t stop there, either. Flo’s levelled up this dessert by wedging it between two malted milk biscuits to create the perfect ice cream sandwich. We don’t know about you, but we were instantly transported back to our childhood.
