Moose Tracks Protein Ice Cream

Moose Tracks Protein Ice Cream is my favorite way to get a creamy frozen treat while sticking to my goals. It comes together with just a few ingredients right in the Ninja Creami and hits that perfect sweet spot with peanut butter cups and chocolate you crave.

I made this for the first time after a tough workout and could not believe how close it tasted to a classic ice cream shop pint but without any of the guilt. Now when my sweet tooth kicks in at night I reach for this every time.

Ingredients

• Fairlife skim milk: adds protein and a super creamy base opt for the freshest you can find
• Unsweetened almond milk: keeps it light and lactose friendly look for one with no added sugars
• Vanilla protein powder: gives body and flavor try to use a great tasting one so you want to eat the final result
• Sugarfree vanilla pudding mix: thickens and turns it into a real ice cream texture choose a brand with real vanilla
• Monk fruit sweetener: delivers the right amount of sweetness but keeps it sugarfree stick with nongranular for best mixing
• Salt: deepens all the flavors always use fine salt to avoid salty bites
• Dark chocolate chips: bring the fudge swirl make sure they are good quality so they melt smoothly
• Mini peanut butter cups: create that Moose Tracks magic check the labels to pick ones with a creamy center

My favorite part is definitely the peanut butter cups especially when you bite into one just as you get a good drizzle of chocolate it takes me right back to summers at the local creamery with my family but fits so much better into daily life now

Cultural and Seasonal Adaptations

Moose Tracks is a playful twist on classic American flavors but you can fold in mini marshmallows or crushed cookies in winter or try caramel sauce mixes in summer when you want something even more decadent

Seasonal Adaptations

Success Stories

I once made a double batch of this recipe for my brother’s birthday party and even my family members who usually want only regular ice cream ended up asking for seconds it is that good my friend tries a new variation every week and swears it keeps her on track during marathon training

Freezer Meal Conversion

Make several pints at once and freeze save the mixins for right before serving so every bowl is as fresh as possible
