Recipe FAQs

What type of protein powder should I use?

I prefer to use Clean Simple Eats. However, depending on your dietary preferences and needs, you can use any high-quality protein powder, such as whey, casein, plant-based, or collagen protein.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, you can simply use a plant-based protein powder and substitute dairy milk with almond milk, coconut milk, or any other non-dairy alternative. Please note that this will alter the overall taste and consistency of the recipe.

Can I add mix-ins to this recipe?

Definitely! You can add fruits, nuts, seeds, or even chocolate chips to customize your Vanilla Protein Ice Cream.
