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

🍽️ Texture Tips
