Ingredients
- 1 cup Fairlife 2% milk or milk of choice
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, whey/casein blend preferred

- 8g sugar-free pudding mix or 1/4 tsp xanthan gum

Kev Tip
Add the cookies after the base is creamy.
Spin and respin the base first, then add crushed cookies on the Mix-In cycle so you keep that cookies-and-cream texture.

Weight Loss / Dessert Swap Notes
This is a strong dessert swap.
You get a real ice cream experience with protein built in. The biggest calorie swing comes from heavy cream and cookie mix-ins, so adjust those based on your goals.
Texture move.
A whey/casein blend usually gives a creamier result than whey alone. Pudding mix also helps the pint taste less icy.
