Not sure about this, but willing to try.

No cauliflower at all in this?

Somewhere, there is a bowl of Ben & Jerry's crying.

I have to get the Truvia, seems like a lot of recipes for healthy desserts use it. Can't wait to try this ice cream! Doing it this weekend!

Anything with protein and ice-cream in the title gets my attention!

Here's one that I use now & then. It tastes like cheesecake ice cream to me:

1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use About Time)
1/2 cp Chobani non-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp Friendship low-fat cottage cheese
1 tbsp Grade B maple syrup
1 tbsp coconut oil

I use an immersion blender to smooth it out.

This one's not really all that different from a serving of Ben & Jerry's as far as nutrition values, although you get about twice as much ice cream in the serving. ;-)

For about one cup:

314 calories
14.2 g fat (12.2 sat)
3 mg cholesterol
19 g carbs
0 g fiber
18.8 g sugar
28.5 g protein

Compared to 1/2 cup of Ben & Jerry's, you get more ice cream, more calories, about the same fat, lower carbs & sugar, and a lot more protein.

You might be able to swap out the coconut oil for a splash of coconut extract to reduce the fat content... Not sure what it'd do to the texture or flavor though.

Hmm .. Seems interesting.. I have seen the recipes that just use protein powder and greek yoghurt.. But willing to add extra..
