Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Ice Cream (27g) | CFBC from CrossFit BC. Mint chocolate chip protein ice cream with 27g protein a bowl, natural colour and dark chocolate shards. No ice cream machine, about $2.10 a serving.
What you need: 2 cups Full-fat cottage cheese, 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder, 2 tbsp Cream cheese, 2.5 tbsp Maple syrup, 0.5 tsp Peppermint extract, 1 handful Baby spinach, 1 pinch Sea salt, 50 g Dark chocolate.
How it comes together: Chop the dark chocolate into thin uneven shards. Aim for flakes rather than cubes, then chill them while you blend. Blend the cottage cheese, protein powder, cream cheese, maple syrup, salt, spinach if using, and only half a teaspoon of peppermint extract on high for 90 seconds. Taste. Add peppermint in one-eighth teaspoon steps if it truly needs it, blending 10 seconds between each.
