Protein Ice Cream

I made my first batch of protein ice cream that came out halfway decent.   I used 1 cup Hood carb countdown chocolate dairy beverage (8 grams protein),  two scoops chocolate Max Protein (44 grams protein) and a squirt of sugar free Hershey's syrup.   I found a can of the sugar free whip cream at the grocery store today.  I may have to add a little squirt for my dessert tonight.
One of these days I'm going to chop up a sugar free peanut butter cup and sprinkle it on top (but not yet).

You can substitute milk or soy milk in place of the carb countdown.  Light vanilla soy milk is a good option as it's thicker than regular skim milk.   It's a great alternative to a regular old protein shake!

82 calories, 2 grams fat, 3 carbs and 13 grams of protein per scoop (1/4 cup)




 

i made some the other night didn't come out good but i made another batch and haven't tried it yet. I hope it is good i would much rather get it that way than in a shake.

The key is using a thicker milk and whipping all the ingredients in a blender until the liquid almost doubles in volume (2 minutes or more).  I've made many batches and this was the first one that came out right.  

Yeah i am have experimenting that is how we learn right lol. Thanks i will try that next time i used skim milk.

What kind of ice cream maker do you all use?  We have a really old electric one that is very noisey and I can't stand that sound for hours.  What do you use?

I use a Cuisenart Electri**** Cream Maker.       
It's usually soft serve in texture when it's done so I put it in a little container and freeze it for a while longer.

Thanks.  I'll  check it out.
