Base Formula
- Protein source (1–2 scoops protein powder):Whey, casein, collagen, or a mix. Casein or whey/casein blends give a creamier texture than whey alone. Whey Isolate has higher protein content per scoop.
- Creamy fat source (1 cup):Options: Organic - full-fat Greek yogurt, cottage cheese (blended smooth), full fat coconut cream, or heavy cream.
- Frozen fruit or low-carb base (1–2 cups):Frozen bananas (sweeter, softer texture), or frozen berries for lower sugar.
- Organic A-2 Milk or unsweetened nut milk (½–1 cup, as needed):Use just enough to blend without making it runny. Whole A-2 milk or full fat coconut milk makes it creamier.
Optional Boosters
- Nut butter (1–2 Tbsp) → adds healthy fats & richness. Organic Almond butter - Pistachio butter makes it green.
- Egg yolks (2–3, → traditional custard-style, boosts protein & fat.
- Collagen peptides → dissolves easily, adds protein without taste.
- Cacao powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon → for flavor.
- Stevia, monk fruit, or dates → if extra sweetness is needed.
- Chia or flax seeds → for fiber & omega-3s, but they slightly change texture.
Blending & Freezing
- Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
2.Either eat immediately as “soft serve” OR transfer to a non plastic or non waxed container and freeze for 2–3 hours. Stir every 30 minutes for smoother texture (or use an ice cream maker if you have one).
3.Let it sit on the counter for ~10 minutes before scooping if it firms up too much.
