Craving ice cream

Make your own!

1 1/2 scoops chocolate protein powder into 2 oz of cool tap water
Whirl a second in your magic bullett

Add 1 Tbsp cool whip and crushed ice,  pulse just a second.  Tastes like a Wendy's choc frosty.

And...try getting the cold-sweet flavor that you can get from ice cream in other textures.

Cheesy dessert (good for those on low carb programs)
>
> 2 parts ricotta (I do the 8 oz whole milk ricotta)
> 1 part or more of cream cheese softened (so 4 oz or more)
> 2 parts heavy cream whipped
> sweetener to taste (use the syrups you like - I use almond and vanilla together
> - otherwise it's 10 - 12 splenda packets I think and using vanilla extract
> and almond extract)
> 1 part sour cream (4oz)
>
> first whip the cream. add sour cream, ricotta, cream cheese and sweetener.
> It's good right away and even better after it sits in the fridge for a
> while. Makes a big batch, but you might want to freeze some or else scale it
> all back to half or a quarter. Good with toasted almonds on top too.


Eleanor's Chocolate Cheesecake Pie

Take 16 oz. tub of ricotta and a standard size block of softened cream
cheese. Combine them (hand mixer works well), adding a bit of cream as
needed to loosen up the mixture a bit, adding a package of SF pudding
mix (is there any flavor other than chocolate?). Tastes like chocolate
cheesecake without the crust. I suppose you could do a crust with nuts
if you wanted to.

Keep in refrigerator.

My families favorite:  Orange Protein Fluff!

1 large cottage cheese (I like 2% small curd)
Cool Whip (medium size)
large s/f orange jello
Stire dry jello mix into cottage cheese.  Stir in cool whip.  I add drained mandarin oranges an sometimes pineapple tidbits (draine).  ....  When I make this for newbie's, I leave out the fruit and add a scoop of flavorless protein powder.  YUMMY!

Another easy dessert for summer:

Green Gravy
1 box s/f pistaccio pudding
Stir dry pudding into a box of crushed pinapple (do not drain)
Stir in Cool Whip

You can mix the dry pudding flavors with the cool whip....and leave out the fruit.  Try stirring in Greek yogurt to boost hte protein.  Yum!!!


It's great to keep some kin of "WLS friendly" cool treat in the freezer or refrigerator throughout our long hot summer or else we'll be checking out all the ice cream places!  LOL! 

Go easy on the S/F ice creams.  There's still a lot of carbs and the lactose can kill most of us!
