Whey Simple Ice Cream

• Whey powder ice cream is not as difficult to make as it might seem; you can make a quick and simple ice cream with only 3 ingredients: vanilla whey protein powder, milk and a banana. Freeze the banana, then blend it with a scoop of vanilla whey powder and a couple of tablespoons of milk -- substitute almond milk for less fat and switch out the vanilla with other flavors. Add a few scoops of sugar-free pudding mix or ice for a thicker consistency.

Whey Good Flavors

• Whey powder's variety of flavors means that lots of ice cream flavors are possible; make ice cream from whey powder flavors including chocolate, strawberry, blueberry and even a marshmallow and peanut butter mix. Mix Greek yogurt with marshmallow and peanut butter whey protein powder -- 1 part powder to 9 parts yogurt -- then freeze for an hour. Or blend 1 diced frozen banana and 3 parts each almond milk and chocolate whey powder in a blender or food processor for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture becomes fluffy, then freeze.

Whey Good Sundaes

• Enjoy your whey powder ice cream with some delicious and healthy toppings. Add frozen fruit like peach slices or blueberries or fresh fruit like strawberry slices or pineapple chunks for extra flavor and nutrition. Not all toppings have to be fruity -- drizzle your scoops with a low-calorie or fat-free chocolate or strawberry syrup and add a dollop of fat-free whipped topping. If you're not afraid of the calories, then dress it up like a normal sundae with fudge, whipped cream, nuts and candy sprinkles.

Whey Good Shakes

• If you grow tired of eating whey ice cream by the scoop, put it in drinkable ice cream-based treats like milkshakes. Protein shakes are to working out as cocktails are to chilling out. Mix a scoop or two of whey powder into your favorite milkshake for a healthier treat. Mix like flavors, like chocolate whey powder with chocolate ice cream, or complement the flavors, like chocolate whey powder with a dulce de leche shake. Substitute the milk with soy or almond milk or switch out the ice cream with frozen yogurt or fat-free yogurt and ice.

You're Using Whey Too Much

• Whey protein powder comes with a few precautions that you should take into account before sprinkling it on your scoops. One of the most important has to do with dairy milk allergies -- if you are allergic to milk, then you will be allergic to whey protein powder. The Mayo Clinic advises that whey powder be used in moderation, as excessive amounts can cause nausea, cramps, bloating and headaches. The best course of action is to follow the instructions on the powder's package or label.
