Protein Ice Cream

Well, I have finally dove into the pool of protein ice cream, and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

For those that don't know what I'm talking about, go over to Eggface's blog and you will be enlightened to the scrumptious flavors she has created! I'm talking everything from Butter Pecan, Strawberry Cheesecake, to Peanut Butter Cup.

I'll be honest, ice cream is what got me into trouble in the first place. Before surgery, it was nothing for me to buy 4-5 half gallons a week. When Blue Bell was on sale, I would buy 10 1/2 gallons and stock the freezer. A couple of weeks ago, I actually bought my first ice cream since surgery. It was Bryers Carb Smart, and it lasted 2 weeks. That was a major improvement for me!

Well let me tell you, I have found a replacement. A substitute that is not only a little healthier than regular ice cream, but also packs a protein punch! Yeah!

So, here are a few of the flavors I have made so far:

Chunky Monkey Banana

Strawberry Caramel

Oh yeah, here is a recipe (it's not ice cream) that I made for some dear friends that came over for dinner last night:

Sugar Free Caramel Flan Cheesecake

With the cheesecake, I would recommend you look at what stage of the journey you are on before trying. Even though it's sugar free, that does not mean calorie free. With the protein ice cream, I say go for it. It's really nothing more than a protein shake that has been frozen!

Well, here's your turn...what flavor of protein ice cream would you like to see? I've already had a request for Cherry Garcia (which I have the recipe for). For that one I might have to visit Melinda-Mart for some Valor Sugar Free Chocolate! For me, it's going to be what I am calling "The Elvis Presley"...Banana & Peanut Butter. Whadda think?

Hope you enjoy!
