Artic "ice cream" whole pint is 150 calories, 14 grams of protein.

Has anyone ever tried this?  it have 14 grams of protein added whey and low sugar safe for diabetics.

I saw it for the first time last night.  I tried it.  I wasn't thrilled with the flavor I got.  But maybe some of the other flavors are better? 

Thoughts???

If not...

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop your favorite protein powder
+your favorite flavorings (sugar free syrups, etc)
5 ice cubes (you can even freeze more almond milk to make this creamier)

Blend like the dickens. Put in freezer surrounded by bags of frozen veggies or blue ice packs or whatever. Stir every half hour, scraping from sides. Ready in about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Also works with 1/3 cup frozen berries thrown in.

I tried it pre-surgery.  I tried 3 flavors and wasn't terribly thrilled with any of them. I wonder if just freezing your protein drink (eggface does this) would be better.  Also, there seems some controversy about the caloric content.  Here is a link to an article about it.

I tried what eggface does but it was more work and it still didn't taste that good.  i wonder if I still haven't found the right protein powder.  She said if your protein powder tastes bad your protein ice cream isn't gonna taste better.  I wonder what protein would taste the best.   The other thing that I might be doing wrong (for taste) was that I used truvia instead of artificial sweetener.  I'm not a fan of it artifiicial but I'm starting to think I may cave in to have it on occasion for a treat.  Where can you get the sugar free syrups anyway? 

You can get sugar free syrups at a lot of places.  I often order it online at Amazon or supplement warehouse.  Locally, Sam's Club carries a few flavors and even Wal-mart has started carrying them.  The grand daddy of all local places is World Bazaar and they have bunches of flavors in their stores.  I ordered an ice cream maker to try the protein ice cream but I'm a bit worried it might be a trigger for me to be honest so I haven't tried this myself.  When I tried the Artic Zero I was hoping that it would taste good enough to work for me (wasn't thinking of triggers then) but ultimately it just didn't do the trick for me.

P.S. Congratulations on the mega weight you lost!!! 

Thanks!  I've been stalling for a while but the inches keep dropping off.  Just a few more pounds to Onderland!

If the inches are coming off still.  That means the fat is turning to muscle.  Muscle weights more than fat so don't worry about the number on the scale.  Besides 212 lost is awesome!  Don't give up in the stall.  You encourage ppl like me that it can be done!:-)

It's a slippery slope!

How many carbs?

My surgeon told me "To be successful, follow the RNY diet"  Which I have...and am again after sliding down that slippery slope....

The whole pint is 150 calories 14 protein. but after surgery there's no way you could fit the whole pint anyway so go by the 1/2 cup servings.    My honest opinion is it's not that good.  It would not be a trigger for me in fact I don't even thing it would satisfy my cravings.    Maybe other flavors better.  don't know.
