Try #4 for Ice cream recipe!

Okay, finally here is the recipe I tried to post earlier from Ms. Shell on the VSG board: Protein "Ice Cream" 3/4 Micellar Milk (or any liquid RTD protein OR milk, skim etc)
2 Tbsp Fat Free half & half
1 scoop protein powder
4 packets splenda
1/2 tsp vanilla
sprinkle nutmeg

Servings Per Recipe: 1

Calories: 218.0

Total Fat: 5.9 g

Total Carbs: 8.7 g

Protein: 33.6 g 

Mix all ingredients in a bowl or blender and blend well.  Pour into a sandwich sized ziploc bag. Place lots of ice cubs and about 6tbsp salt into large gallon ziploc bag.  Add the small ziploc and shake it ALL up for 5+ minutes.  Basically the shaking and ice will freeze the "ice cream"  An ice cream machine would work too.

Great reviews from the VSG forum but not sure if it's okay for RNY, I think so though.   Have a great night! Tammy

How did it taste?  I think I will try this and use some fresh strawberries or blueberries, think it would turn out okay?  Anyone else here give it a try?  Post your reviews here!  I have been looking for ice cream in stores but it seems that the milk based ice creams have to many sugar alcohols in it. I always try to look for the splenda logo.

Hi there! I haven't made it yet cause I need to hit the store but several people thought it was really good. I think it would be great with some fruit added. That reminds me that the local blueberry stand just opened - yum! I would probably make the ice cream and then stir the fruit in or the added water from the fruit mght affect how it freezes. I think you could also use different flavors of protein powder and see what you come up with. One person adds an egg to the recipe and of course that would give you more protein and a richer flavor. Lots of homemade ice cream recipes have raw egg in them but some people are concerned with salmonella risk. I say if you know it's a really fresh egg - go for it. By the way, I had heard that you want to use it right away and not store it or the protein will break down and not be effecive (per a NUT). Let me know what you think. I am going to try it this weekend sometime. Enjoy! Tammy
