Blizzard Base
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (preferably plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the base: In a blender, combine the Greek yogurt and protein powder. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring that the protein powder is fully incorporated with no lumps remaining.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips into the blended mixture to distribute them evenly throughout the blizzard base.
- Freeze slightly: Transfer the mixture into a bowl or container and place it in the freezer for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Stir once halfway through to ensure even freezing.

- Use mini chocolate chips to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during freezing.
