Our Story

We founded Protein Pints because, like millions of people, we wanted a healthier way to enjoy one of life’s simple pleasures—ice cream. As fitness enthusiasts and lifelong friends, we found ourselves constantly disappointed by the lack of satisfying, nutritious ice cream options that fit our active lifestyles. We saw an opportunity to create something better: a product that blends our love for ice cream with protein-packed nutrition and nothing but natural ingredients. After years of development and countless taste tests, we perfected Protein Pints—a high-protein, low-sugar ice cream that doesn’t compromise on taste. Our mission is simple: to provide everyone from athletes to everyday health-conscious individuals with a dessert that not only tastes amazing but also supports their nutritional goals. Today, Protein Pints is redefining what it means to enjoy functional ice cream guilt-free, and we're just getting started.
