High-Protein Sugar-Free Ice Cream Hack

Lisa Kidd

If you’re bariatric (or just living a high-protein lifestyle), desserts can feel tricky. You want something sweet, but you also want it to support your goals. That’s where this high-protein sugar-free ice cream hack comes in.

This recipe was inspired by Demi from Demi Does It on TikTok, and it’s as easy as it gets.

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 tub of Sugar-Free Cool Whip
  • 1 scoop of protein powder
  • Optional mix-ins of your choice

What I Used:

  • Nutter Butter Ghost Protein Powder
  • 2 chopped Robert Irvine Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars

How to Make It:

  1. Add your protein powder to the tub of sugar-free Cool Whip.
  2. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Fold in your favorite mix-ins.
  4. Freeze overnight.
  5. Scoop and enjoy!

The result is a creamy, satisfying dessert that feels indulgent but still fits into a bariatric-friendly lifestyle. The best part? You can switch up the flavors endlessly—vanilla, chocolate, cookies, fruit, or whatever you’re craving.

If you try this recipe, let me know what flavor combo you choose. This one is definitely staying in my freezer!

I am a wife, a mom, a grandmother, and a pastry chef. Back in 2017, I used to weigh 332 pounds. I was very unhealthy, could barely move, and boy was I miserable. Also, that same year I wound up in the hospital with a saddle pulmonary embolism that traveled through my heart. I am told that I am very lucky to be alive. This is what got the ball rolling for me to get the bariatric surgery that I so desperately needed and now I want to share my journey with all of you.
