Ice creams are anytime favorite, especially when they are packed with nourishment and low-calories.
Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream

- 60g (⅔ cup) Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
- 63g (3 tbs) Raw Honey (Pure Maple Syrup or Agave Nectar work too)
- 6oz Dark Chocolate, melted ( 70% cacao)
Direction:
- In a blender, add the almond milk, protein powder, and liquid sweetener. Blend until completely smooth.
- Add the melted chocolate and blend again. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan and place in the freezer for ~4 hours, or until it’s firm enough to scoop.

Pistachio Banana Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2-3 overripe, frozen bananas or fruit of your choice
- optional milk of choice, if needed
- 2-3 tbsp pistachio butter
- 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract.
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Start with bananas that are turning brown. Peel and cut into large pieces, then freeze in an airtight bag or container. (You can freeze a whole bunch at once so they’re ready whenever you want to make banana ice cream.)
- To make the ice cream, throw around 2-3 frozen bananas, into a blender or food processor—adding a pinch of salt and 2-4 tbsp milk of choice, pistachio butter & vanilla extract for smoother blending —and blend until you achieve a soft-serve texture.
- You can serve immediately, or transfer to a container and freeze an additional 30 minutes, then scoop out with an ice cream scoop. Sprinkle crushed pistachios on top if desired.
Mango Popsicles
Ingredients
- 10 oz frozen fruit (Mango)
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk (or 13 oz milk of choice)
- 2 tbsp sweetener of choice, or pinch uncut stevia
Instructions
Blend all ingredients until completely smooth. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze. I add popsicle sticks (available at a craft store) about 1/2 hour after freezing so the sticks stay upright. To easily remove popsicles when ready to eat, run the popsicle mold under warm water for a few seconds, then gently twist off.
Green Tea Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 4 cups Greek yogurt, plain
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons Epic Matcha green tea powder
Directions
- Place yogurt into a large bowl.
- Add sugar and Epic Matcha green tea powder.
- Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
- If you have an ice-cream maker: Freeze the frozen yogurt mixture in the ice-cream maker according to the instructions provided with the machine.Transfer to the freezer and chill until frozen yogurt becomes firm.
- If you do not have an ice-cream maker: Transfer the yogurt mixture into a freezer-safe mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for about 2 hours or until firm. Remove from freezer and mix on medium-high speed until soft. Freeze again. Beat with the mixer. You will notice the texture improving. Repeat steps 4 and 5 once again.
Blueberry Protein Fluff

- 200g (1½ cups) Frozen Blueberries
- ½ cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- ½ tsp Vanilla Creme-Flavored Stevia Extract

Watch the serving & enjoy the nourishment.
