It's Ice Cream!!!
Trust me, I've been wondering the exact same thing. However, I was "warned" that just making the ice cream with only the ready made shake would not work because ice cream requires fat for it to form. Someone else said she added ff Cool Whip (for the fat) and it worked, so I tried it. Voila, it worked!

Time for reflection - I'm getting my wls soon, probably at end of august. It will be time for changes. I dont understand here why would someone continue to poison their bodies with unhealthy stuff like ice cream. I know personally i want to get away from that stuff so why try other ways to make it and eat it. I think for something sweet like strawberries is so much better. Just my opinion.
That's a good question. Once you have surgery you will understand the neccessity of getting in your protein any way you can...drink shakes, eat/drink protein soups, eat meat and cheese, etc., and/or freeze the shakes (aka protein ice cream). The old saying, "variety is the spice of life" is a good example of getting our protein any way we can...including in protein ice cream.
I don't consider a frozen protein shake as being unhealthy junk food or poison to my body. I, for one, refuse to get bored with my food so I prepare it various ways.
