Ingredients
  

For the Ice Cream Base
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Substitute with dairy-free alternatives for vegan version.
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt Regular yogurt can be used but may reduce creaminess.
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice Fresh juice is recommended for the best taste.
  • 1/4 cup Honey/Maple Syrup Adjust to preferred level of sweetness.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Vanilla bean can be used for extra richness.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Zest Can be omitted for milder taste.
  • 1 scoop Protein Powder Choose vanilla or unflavored for optimal results.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances the flavors.

  • Pint Container

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a high-powered blender, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon zest, protein powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour the creamy mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, leaving some space at the top for expansion as it freezes. Cover securely.
  3. Place the container in the freezer and freeze for a minimum of 24 hours.
  4. After 24 hours, remove the lid and insert the pint into your Ninja Creami. Process until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  5. Serve immediately, or return to the freezer for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
