Notes
To Make Dairy-Free
Use a dairy-free milk such as Oatly full fat (the higher fat content makes for a creamy texture) and dairy-free protein powder. Be sure it's one you like as the flavor will come through! I recommend Truvani or Just Ingredients, linked below.Protein Powder
I use Just Ingredients French Vanilla protein powder because I love the clean ingredients and the flavor. I've linked it below. If Ice Cream is Crumbly If your ice cream is crumbly on top after the first cycle, just hit the re-spin button. You can also add a splash of milk, or orange juice to soften a little. I have found that dairy-free options tend to get more crumbly; using a df milk with higher fat content such as Oatly full fat can help with that, as can a couple re-spins.Juice Options
Try using half orange juice and half pineapple juice!Nutrition
