HIGH PROTEIN PISTACHIO ICE CREAM ✨ (a creamy and nutritious treat)

For the Ice Cream Base:
2 cups unsweetened almond milk or your preferred milk
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup pistachios, shelled
1/4 cup vanilla protein powder

 INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1: PREPARE THE ICE CREAM BASE
– In a blender, combine the almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.
– Add the pistachios and vanilla protein powder to the mixture. Blend again until the pistachios are finely chopped and evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

STEP 2: CHILL THE MIXTURE
– Pour the ice cream base into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill. This step helps improve the texture of the ice cream.

STEP 3: CHURN THE ICE CREAM
– Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

STEP 4: FREEZE THE ICE CREAM
– Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula and seal the container. Place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until firm.

STEP 5: SERVE
– When ready to serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. Enjoy your high protein pistachio ice cream!
