HOT SUMMER STRAWBERRY PROTEIN ICE CREAM
(High Protein / Gluten-Free / Low-Carb / Very Low Sugar)
Sugar-Free, Creamy & Packed with Protein
When the temperature climbs, a cold bowl of strawberry ice cream sounds just about perfect. This homemade version delivers that rich, creamy texture without relying on added sugar—and MariGold Strawberry Sundae Whey Isolate gives every scoop an extra protein boost.
Real egg yolks, heavy cream, and half-and-half create a classic custard-style base, while powdered freeze-dried strawberries add concentrated berry flavor without watering down the mixture. A little allulose keeps it sweet and scoopable, and the whey isolate blends right into the base for a dessert that feels indulgent while still fitting into a lower-sugar lifestyle.
The hardest part is waiting for it to firm up in the freezer. Give it five minutes on the counter before scooping, sprinkle on a few crushed strawberries, and consider your summer dessert situation officially handled.
