Protein Ice Cream – Dream Come True?

Ice cream is definitely one of my favorite desserts, especially ice milk in Reese Cup Blizzards to be exact. Unfortunately when dieting down to very lean body fat levels it becomes difficult to have full fat and high carb containing ice cream on a daily basis. It can be done in moderation, but I don’t know about you but I don’t like only having 2 or 3 spoons full at a time. Keep in mind many people have success including natural ice creams into their contest prep and diet (especially men) but for women on a lower calories diet this can be a life saver!

This recipe works great for making a High PROTEIN Ice Cream or High PROTEIN milk shakes.

Recipe (Chocolate Flavour):

– 1 Full Serving of Whey Protein powder (35g of Kaizen Chocolate Whey Protein Isolate is what I used)
– 10-15g Unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 cup water
– 3 cups crushed ice or 4-5 cups chunk ice
– 1/2-1 tsp sea salt
– 1/2 tsp xanthum gum (1/4 tsp if stomach does not tolerate)
– Artificial Sweetener like stevia, Sucralose etc..
OPTIONAL: Favour extracts (ie. Chocolate, peppermint, butter scotch), Cocao chips, nuts etc..

Directions:

Use a high powered blender like a Vitamix, Blendtec, or maybe a magic bullet. Blend the ingredients all together until all the ice crystals are completely blended into a soft serve. Eat up and Enjoy!
