A creamy, high-protein dessert swirled with tart raspberries and rich white chocolate flavor — this White Chocolate Raspberry Protein Ice Cream feels indulgent but fits right into my active lifestyle. It’s light, refreshing, and perfect for warm days or post-workout cravings when I want something sweet without the sugar crash.
Ingredients
(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 cups frozen raspberries
1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1 scoop white chocolate protein powder
1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for texture)
¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)
Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Directions
I add the frozen raspberries, almond milk, white chocolate protein powder, sweetener (if using), vanilla extract, chia seeds, and Greek yogurt to a high-speed blender.
I blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mixture’s too thick, I splash in more milk; if it’s too thin, I toss in a few ice cubes or extra frozen berries.
Once I reach my ideal consistency, I transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
I smooth out the top, cover it, and let it freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer texture — though sometimes I just dig in right away for that soft-serve feel.
I scoop it into bowls or cones, top it with fresh raspberries, and enjoy.
Servings and timing
Servings: 2–3 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Freezing Time: 1–2 hours (optional)
Total Time: ~2 hours

Variations
I swap raspberries for strawberries or blueberries when I want to switch up the flavor.
For a richer texture, I use full-fat canned coconut milk.
A handful of white chocolate chips blended in adds extra indulgence.
To make it vegan, I use a plant-based protein powder and coconut yogurt.
I’ve even added a scoop of peanut butter or almond butter for a nutty twist.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight, freezer-safe container. If it freezes solid, I let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to soften before scooping. It stays good in the freezer for up to a week, though it rarely lasts that long in my kitchen.
FAQs
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
I simply skip the Greek yogurt or use a plant-based version, and make sure my protein powder is dairy-free.
What type of protein powder works best?
I use a white chocolate flavored protein powder, but vanilla also works great. Just make sure it's one that blends well without being gritty.
Can I make this without a blender?
A blender is best for that creamy texture, but a food processor could work in a pinch. I wouldn’t recommend trying to mix it by hand.
Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?
Fresh raspberries don’t give the same thick, frozen texture. If I use fresh, I add ice cubes and freeze the mixture longer for a firmer consistency.
Is this good for post-workout recovery?
Absolutely. It’s packed with protein, and the raspberries give me natural carbs and antioxidants, making it a great post-workout treat.
Conclusion
This White Chocolate Raspberry Protein Ice Cream is one of my favorite guilt-free indulgences. It’s quick to make, nourishing, and satisfies both my sweet tooth and my macros. Whether I’m cooling off after a workout or just want a healthy dessert, this recipe hits the spot every time.
