Meet pistachio protein ice cream, which is so healthy that even your nutritionist would happily recommend it - and so delicious that even your grandmother couldn't resist it.
Pistachio protein ice cream has become a hit on Instagram, where influencer Ainsley Rodriguez has quickly become a sensation. Why? Because this ice cream is a combination of everything we want: a creamy texture, rich pistachio flavor, a quick-to-make formula, and of course – a big dose of protein that will delight all fitness enthusiasts (and even those who are more into couch potatoes than cardio). Get ready for a dessert that will become your new summer obsession. Let's take a look at exactly why this homemade pistachio protein ice cream has become an internet sensation. With a little effort and a few healthy ingredients, you can whip up a real treat that easily rivals the most notorious gelateria in town.
Ingridients:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (can be classic or low-fat)
- 3/4 cup unsalted or lightly salted pistachios
- juice of half a lime
- 1–2 tablespoons honey (depending on desired sweetness)
Preparation:
Simply throw all the ingredients into a blender and blend until you have a beautiful, smooth, and consistent cream. If desired, add some crushed pistachios for a crunchy effect. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, sprinkle some extra pistachios on top (because, why not?), and then put the whole thing in the freezer for a few hours.
If you're impatient, you can enjoy a freshly blended portion – like a creamy soft serve version. But believe me, once the mixture has cooled and solidified, the experience will be even more unforgettable.

- Also suitable as an afternoon snack after training or a dessert without a guilty conscience.
Bonus tip
For those who like to experiment – add a pinch of vanilla powder, a drop of almond extract or even a scoop of vanilla protein powder for an even more “fit” version. But if you’re more into pampering than counting calories – a pinch of cardamom is like the icing on the cake.
This isn't just another recipe. It's the solution for all those times when you need something sweet, something refreshing, something that won't ruin your menu, but will make it even more interesting. Pistachio Protein Ice Cream is your new BFF - no offense to classic chocolate.
