Here’s a creamy, refreshing, low-carb & high-protein Pineapple Yogurt Ice Cream you can make at home—no fancy equipment required (but I’ll include an ice cream maker option too).


🍍 Creamy Pineapple Yogurt Ice Cream (Low-Carb & High-Protein)

🧾 Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 2–3 tbsp keto sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia—adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (for blending)
  • Optional: 1 tbsp cream cheese (extra creaminess)
  • Optional: 1 tbsp lemon juice (enhances pineapple flavor)

🔪 Instructions

🥄 Quick Blender Method (Soft-Serve Style)

  1. Add frozen pineapple, yogurt, protein powder, and sweetener into a blender or food processor.
  2. Add almond milk gradually to help blending.
  3. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  5. Serve immediately as soft-serve OR freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer texture.

❄️ Ice Cream Maker Method (Creamier Texture)

  1. Blend all ingredients until completely smooth.
  2. Pour mixture into your ice cream maker.
