Mint Chocolate Chip & Butter Pecan Protein Ice Cream...

Found this on EggFace's Blog, which I plan to try...yummmm!

Mint Chocolate Chip

 
This is what you make when those little Girl Scouts come a-calling with their evil Thin Mints.

Shelly's Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Ice Cream

1 cup Vanilla Soy Milk (or Regular Milk)
2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
1/8 teaspoon Peppermint Extract (careful a little goes a long way)
optional: 1/8 teaspoon Green Food Coloring
2 - 3 Sugar Free Andes or Peppermint Patties, chopped (30 cals a piece)

Mix together milk, protein, extract and optional food coloring. I used this gadget to mix it up. It makes it airy and lump free. Pour into ice cream maker. Follow your machine's instructions for freezing. 5 minutes before done add the chopped SF Andes. You can eat it right away it is soft serve-ish but I like to put it in the freezer to set for an hour or so. You can make this without the green food coloring but I grew up on the fake green one and green is my favorite color.

Butter Pecan

  My favorite so far (yeah I know I've said that before)


Shelly's Butter Pecan Protein Ice Cream

1 cup Vanilla Soy Milk (or Regular Milk)
2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Sugar Free Torani (I used SF Vanilla), divided use
1 teaspoon + 1/2 teaspoon Butter Flavored Extract, divided use
2-3 Tablespoons Pecans, toasted and chopped

Toast pecans lightly in a toaster oven or dry pan. Toss with 1 teaspoon of SF Syrup and 1/2 teaspoon butter extract set aside to cool. I pop them in the freezer while the ice cream churns.

Mix together milk, protein, 1 Tablespoon syrup and 1 teaspoon extract. I used this gadget to mix it up. It makes it airy and lump free. Pour into ice cream maker. Follow your machine's instructions for freezing. 5 minutes before done add the chopped nuts. You can eat it right away it is soft serve-ish but I like to put it in the freezer (in a tupperware) to set for an hour or so.    

OMG Genie! They are BOTH so delicious! You are going to just love them. Enjoy!! :-)

Hi Lizzy, good to see you.  I just love Butter Pecan Ice Cream.hope I can tolerate the milk.

These both sound really good.  and I sure do thank you for sharing, but you know what - for me (not necesarrily for ANYONE else) I've found that if I go to "wanna'be" foods I'm ever so much more likely to progress to "wanna eat" the regular version and from there it's a slippery slope down into a major pig-out.  Anyone else have that experience or am I just a mutant?

Wow!...Thanks so much for sharing. They both sound AWESOME! Butter Pecan is my absolute favorite. I can't wait to try this!!

Today is the 2nd meeting of the bariatric maintenance group.  I'm going to share these recipes with them.  Thanks!

Of course, there will be no identifying information on what I give them - just the recipes.  Again, thanks.
