This Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is gluten free, high protein, and low sugar. Using only five ingredients, all you have to do is blend, and freeze. You’ll have the creamiest, sweet, minty ice cream in no time!

It’s been a while since I’ve made a high protein ice cream recipe, but with the weather being hotter my Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream has gotten popular again so I wanted to test out a new flavor! One of my all time favorites is mint chocolate chip ice cream so of course, I had to make my own 💁‍♀️. It’s actually super easy to make ice cream at home and you don’t need a fancy ice cream maker, just a high-speed blender. Plus, the ingredients are much more simple than most ice creams you’ll find in the store!

The main ingredient in this recipe is cottage cheese – it gives boost of protein, healthy fats, and makes this the creamiest texture. Another key ingredient that adds so many nutrients and the beautiful green color is spirulina! Mint chocolate chip ice cream ice cream can be white, light or dark green which is usually because of added food dyes and colorings. For homemade recipes, I sometimes use natural food coloring, but for this ice cream, I wanted to try something different that not only made the ice cream green but also added to its nutritional value! Adding spirulina is completely optional, if you don’t mind white ice cream then leave it out. If you are adding it in, you’re also getting a boost of antioxidants, protein, minerals like iron, magnesium, B vitamins, and much more!

Who doesn’t love a delicious high protein dessert with some added benefits?
