Cookie Monster High Protein Ice Cream

Say hello to Cookie Monster’s high protein ice cream! Complete with the iconic blue cookie monster color and cookie pieces in every bite, this creamy treat will be your new go-to for guilt-free indulgence.

What You’ll Need

Equipment

• Ninja Creami
• Blender

Ingredients

• 2% low fat cottage cheese: Wait, don’t leave! This gives an ultra creamy base for this ice cream – blended up so you won’t even know it’s there.
• Unsweetened almond milk: Or milk of choice.
• Vanilla protein powder: I’m using 1UP Nutrition vanilla ice cream protein (use code “Jaycee” for 20% off).
• Sugar Free Jell-O pudding mix: I like the white chocolate one best. Can sub vanilla.
• Sweetener: I use Truvia.
• Blue spirulina powder: Spirulina contains vitamins and minerals that help maintain a healthy immune system, and gives that beautiful blue color! Basically a natural food coloring with bonus health benefits.
• Mini chips ahoy: Because this wouldn’t be cookie monster ice cream without them.

How To Make It

1. Blend: Add all ingredients (except cookies) to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into your creami pint and cover with lid.
2. Freeze: Place in the freezer (make sure it’s level) and freeze for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight.
3. Spin: Run on the “light ice cream” function (it will be crumbly after – this is normal), then add 1 tbsp of milk or water and re-spin. Add cookies and run on the “mix-ins” function. Top with more cookies if desired and enjoy!

Tips

• Run under hot water: When I first take my creami out of the freezer, I like to run it under hot water for a few seconds to help get rid of that outer icy layer.
• Fluffier ice cream: Create a softer, fluffier ice cream by re-spinning a third time.
