Cottage cheese ice cream is more than just an Internet food trend. It's a protein packed dessert that is filling and satisfies any ice cream cravings. This recipe adds in some protein powder for even more of a protein boost, and can be made in various flavors, like peanut butter or mint chocolate. For a dairy free healthy ice cream, make some Banana Nice Cream

- 1/2 cup (113 g) Nonfat cottage cheese
- 1/2 scoop (15 g) Whey protein powder, unflavored
- 1/4 tsp (1.25 g) Liquid monk fruit
- 1/8 tsp (1 g) Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (16 g) Natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp (10 g) Cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp (1 g) Almond extract

1. Mix base ingredients together in a tupperware or small blender - cottage cheese, whey, sweetener, and vanilla

2. Choose a flavor and mix in ingredients (see notes below)

3. Churn the ice cream every half hour or so for about 3 hours. Doing so will prevent it from getting too icy

4. Store in the freezer. Let sit out for about 20 minutes to soften before eating
