Get set to smash your summer protein goals with an ice-cold treat.
Looking for a deliciously refreshing way to hit those protein intake goals during the warmer weather? We’ve got you covered with these no-fuss, healthy homemade ice cream options. They’re every bit as sweet and creamy as the real thing but come with a fraction of the calories as we’ve switched in low-fat yogurt and cut out any added sugar.
We’ve gone for three classic combinations — rich chocolate peanut butter, silky white chocolate & raspberry, and juicy watermelon.
It’s super easy for you to mix up the flavors and toppings with whatever extras you fancy too — get experimenting with nuts, berries and chopped fruit, or even pieces of your favorite protein bars.
We recommend always having a tub on standby for sunny days.
