A vibrant, creamy ice cream that nourishes and delights…

There is something undeniably joyful about brightly coloured food, especially when it’s made with ingredients that actually support your body. Blue Magic Tropical Protein Ice Cream is one of those recipes that feels playful and indulgent, yet fits beautifully into a balanced, wellness-focused lifestyle. Creamy, naturally sweet, and bursting with tropical flavour, this ice cream proves that healthy treats can still feel magical.

The star of this recipe is blue spirulina, a powerful antioxidant extracted from spirulina algae. Unlike green spirulina, blue spirulina has a mild, neutral taste and delivers its signature electric-blue colour thanks to phycocyanin. This antioxidant is known for helping combat oxidative stress and support overall cellular health – making it a popular addition to smoothies, bowls, and functional desserts.

What makes this ice cream especially satisfying is the addition of protein. Protein helps stabilise blood sugar, supports muscle repair, and keeps you feeling fuller for longer – important when enjoying sweet treats. By blending protein into the base, this ice cream becomes more than just a dessert; it’s a nourishing snack or post-workout option that won’t leave you reaching for more minutes later.

The tropical flavour comes from a combination of frozen banana, mango, and pineapple. Banana provides natural sweetness and that classic creamy ice-cream texture, while mango and pineapple add brightness and a refreshing tang that pairs perfectly with coconut. Using frozen fruit eliminates the need for an ice-cream maker and keeps the ingredient list simple and whole-food focused.

Coconut milk brings everything together, adding richness and healthy fats that enhance both flavour and mouthfeel. These fats also help with nutrient absorption and give the ice cream its luxurious, scoopable texture. A touch of vanilla rounds out the flavours, while a squeeze of lime (optional but recommended) adds a fresh tropical lift that keeps the sweetness balanced.

One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is. Everything goes into a blender or food processor, and within minutes you have a soft-serve-style ice cream. You can enjoy it straight away or freeze it briefly for a firmer, scoopable consistency. It’s perfect for warm days, weekend treats, or those moments when you want something sweet that still aligns with your wellness goals.

This ice cream is also highly adaptable. You can use whey isolate, plant-based protein, or collagen peptides depending on your needs. Add shredded coconut for texture, swirl in coconut yogurt, or top with fresh fruit, nuts or granola to turn it into a stunning dessert bowl. However you serve it, Blue Magic Tropical Protein Ice Cream brings a sense of fun and nourishment to your table. ✨
