Can I make this without protein powder?

The protein powder is important in this particular recipe for both the nutrition profile and texture. Without it, you'd lose the protein benefits and the ice cream may be too icy.

Can I skip the collagen peptides?

Yes, but the collagen adds extra protein and helps create a creamier texture. If you skip it, consider adding an extra half scoop of protein powder.

Can I make this vegan or dairy-free?

Absolutely! Use plant-based protein powder and milk. To keep the sugar in check, ensure your milk of choice is unsweetened.

How long does the ice cream keep?

It's best consumed within 2 hours of spinning for optimal texture. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month. Just let it sit at room temperature for 15 - 20 minutes before scooping or re-spin in the Creami.
