Vanilla protein ice cream with fruit

Summer is slowly knocking on the door, so a recipe for a good homemade ice cream that is also packed with protein will really come in handy.

Ingredients:

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

Procedure:

Freeze the fruit the day before. Put the frozen fruit, protein and yoghurt in a bowl. Add the liquid slowly, because if you put too much in, it will turn into a smoothie and not ice cream.
