I scream, you scream, we all scream for vegan black raspberry chip protein nice cream! After taking a deep breath of course, because that’s a long title.

First of all, I’m from Ohio, if you’re a newcomer and didn’t know (also, HI, so happy you’re here!). Ohio is pretty great, other than the freaking cold winters – DIE, winter. Anyway, Ohio State is obviously what comes to mind first. Buckeye for life, baby.

The second best thing about Ohio? Graeter’s ice cream. Or at least, that’s what 12 year old Sara will tell you. The Graeter’s I always went to with my family had a play place, like, Mcdonald’s style, only classy. Picture a banana split seesaw (I KNOW), two big slides, and a MASSIVE cone of black raspberry chip ice cream (like, twenty feet tall), with a tunnel cut out so you could literally run through the ice cream cone.

It was every child’s version of heaven. A place to eat ice cream then sprint around until you were tired, or probably until you were feeling sick from eating ice cream then proceeding to run around like a psycho in an ice cream wonderland.

Play place aside, Graeter’s is super well known for their incredible ice cream. They have tons of really classic flavors, but I think they’re definitely known most for their black raspberry chip. A sweet, creamy, fruity ice cream with chunks of chocolate the size of your face.

Fortunately for my health, I don’t frequent Graeter’s anymore. BUT also fortunately for my health, I now have this vegan black raspberry chip protein nice cream.

HELLO, beautiful.

Vegan Black Raspberry Chip Protein Nice Cream

Sunwarrior has been my favorite brand of protein for years. Ever since I went plant-based, I’ve NEVER found any other plant protein powder that comes even close in flavor, texture, and quality of ingredients. I always go with the warrior blend, which is raw and has a ton of high quality plant protein, and it’s sweetened naturally with stevia. No artificial, unhealthy ingredients here!

That’s one of my favorite things about Sunwarrior. It’s slightly sweet, and as a result it’s quite easily incorporated into most dessert recipes. It bakes well, but is also really delicious raw – my breakfast before school during the week is the chocolate protein with bananas, and it never disappoints. Also, NOTHING is worse than being hungry approximately 3 minutes after you eat. Sunwarrior always keeps me satiated until my next meal, and the chocolatey flavor is just a bonus!

So, today Sunwarrior chocolate protein is making an appearance in this vegan black raspberry chip protein nice cream. Because the protein lends an amazing, thick and creamy texture, there’s no need for a frozen banana – but if you want it even thicker, throw one in!

Ingredients for vegan black raspberry chip protein nice cream

  • Frozen berries: mixed berries give the nice cream creamy texture and bright, sweet berry flavor.
  • Sunwarrior chocolate protein: the protein powder helps thicken the nice cream and make it more satiating.
  • Nondairy milk: a little milk helps everything blend together. I use unsweetened almond milk for neutral flavor, but water or any nondairy milk should work.
  • Vegan chocolate chunks: I just chopped an unsweetened dark chocolate bar, but use whatever vegan chocolate or chocolate chips you like.

Tips for making vegan black raspberry chip protein nice cream

  • Add as little liquid as possible. I start with just 1/4 cup of nondairy milk, then add little by little just to help the blender get things going. The less liquid you add, the thicker and more ice cream-like it will be.

You need this vegan black raspberry chip protein nice cream in your life. Actually, you really need Sunwarrior in your life first. They were kind enough to send me some samples of their other products, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. All of their meal replacements and proteins are awesome for convenience AND health. Love love love.

Xo,

Sara

  1. Take me to this ice cream wonderland!! Actually go back in time 15 years and THEN take me 😀 Because even Disneyworld does not have ice cream themed playground equipment–I’m feeling a little slighted down here lol. Love those kinds of memories though and using them as inspiration for new, healthier, perfectly purple and abundantly chip-speckled treats! I can’t say I’ve ever had black raspberry ice cream but berries + chocolate is always good with me. Plus so pretty. And I love adding protein powder to nicecream for that wonderful thick extra creamy texture <3 Plus no bananas and scoopable–a huge blender ice cream feat!

    1. Haha Natalie let’s go back in time and go together! And I’m thinking Disneyworld could take notes on this concept and probably benefit quite a bit…but anyway, as you said, berries and chocolate never disappoint, and I’m not one to leave out bananas, but you’re right! With the protein ya don’t even need it. Thanks for your kind words as always!

    1. Thanks, Kelsie!! I was pretty mesmerized by how perfectly purple it came out! Thanks for your sweet words. 🙂

    1. Thanks so much, Shannon! It’s awesome because it’s super easy to throw together, and the pretty color doesn’t hurt! Let me know if you try it out. 🙂

  2. Sara,
