Protein-rich Dessert Recipe: Chunky Monkey Protein Ice Cream

Technically this recipe isn’t ice cream because there’s no actual cream involved; however, it’s pretty close to the real thing. Cottage cheese helps give this ice cream a rich, creamy texture, and contributes significantly to the total protein content—20g per serving.
