Hello Friends!
This is the most excited I've been about a food find in a while!! I've been eating 100% clean, no sugar etc. for 10 days now. I feel fantastic, but sometimes there is a need for a bite or two of something sweet! I came across a recipe from Jamie Eason for Protein Ice Cream. It's very simple to make...and the possibilities are endless. My kids and my husband were amazed.
Basically it's 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (regular, vanilla or chocolate)
1.5 scoops of protein powder (I used chocolate/peanut butter)
Fill a large ziploc bag half full of ice and pour in half a cup of table salt. (not your fancy sea salt...just regular because you are not eating this...salt makes the ice colder!)
Mix your protein powder and almond milk in a bowl, then transfer to a small ziploc bag. Seal it, place it inside the large bag and then seal that. Now put on some oven mits (or something to keep your hands from freezing) and shake for about five minutes. It's unbelievable, but it freezes in that short amount of time.
Make it soft ice cream or hard, but when you are done, wipe down the small bag before opening. (You don't want salt water dripping into your treat!) Put it in a bowl and enjoy!
I ate half of this. It worked out to just over 100 calories, 0.3 g fat, 1 carb and 20 g of protein! Basically you are freezing your shake.

I've seen other options with vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract and orange extract to make a Creamsicle flavor...chocolate almond milk and chocolate protein powder with mint extract...or add some instant espresso granuales to chocolate protein for a mocha...see it's endless!!
So if you're watching what you eat, you don't need to say goodbye to ice cream!!! I will look forward to hearing what other combos you come up with! Oh, what about orange and licorice extract...tiger protein ice cream!! Yummy!!!
