Protein ice cream: a healthy and delicious summer dessert without regrets

Ice cream, among other things, is inseparable from summer. However, the products we buy can contain heaps of calories that could end up having a negative impact on our weight. Let's avoid that and try making our awesome ice cream, which is absolutely suitable for weight loss regimes! Yes, you read that right, an ice cream with minimal calories that tastes so divine and is also packed with protein, making it nutritionally very interesting too.

You only need four ingredients to create this treat, which I'm sure every fitness buff has at home, and it takes so little time you won't even get dirty! We won't bore you any further and go straight to the recipe.

Ingredients (protein ice cream):

• 120g frozen fruit (ideally small berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or a mixture of these)
• 50g of fat-free Greek yoghurt
• 20g protein
• 50 -100 ml water

Procedure:

1. Freeze the fruit the day before.
2. Put the frozen fruit, protein and yoghurt in a bowl.
3. Add the liquid slowly, because if you put too much in, it will turn into a smoothie and not ice cream.
4. So pour in some of the water.
5. Take a stick blender and blend everything together to make a nice creamy ice cream.

6. If it's too stiff, add liquid and blend again.

7. Transfer the finished ice cream to a container and you can consume, but ideally put it in the freezer to set for another hour or two.

8. Finally, top the ice cream with, for example, this amazing chocolate topping.
