Protein ice cream, where have you been all my life?
Fast Track sent me some chocolate Protein Freeze last week. When it arrived, I tore open the package and read the instructions on the label:
Preparation: Pour entire container of Protein Freeze powder into a large bowl. Add 12 cups of water and 1 cup of nut butter. Blend and then freeze.
If you know me, you know I rarely follow a recipe to the letter but this time I was tempted because I think chocolate and peanut butter is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
I decided to make an individual serving to start. So I grabbed my Magic Bullet blender and mixed together 1/3 cup Protein Freeze, 2/3 cup water, and 2T natural peanut butter. I popped it into the freezer and a few hours later I had protein chocolate peanut butter ice cream which IS proof that God loves us and wants us to be even happier.
A few hours after that, I had my second batch in the freezer and a batch of chocolate oatmeal protein cookies in the oven. I had to see if Protein Freeze could pass my baking test, didn’t I? Let me just say, I was not disappointed. I’ll share that recipe with you another time because I have to tell you about the protein latte I made with Protein Freeze. Remember my recipe for A Whole Latte Protein? Well, Protein Freeze stood up to that challenge, too.
Today I decided to make another serving of Protein Freeze ice cream using a packet of Starbucks VIA instant coffee instead of the peanut butter and the result was a rich, dark chocolate ice cream. I have another batch brewing in the freezer right now.
I have my mind set on making cinnamon protein ice cream and since I haven’t ordered my tub of vanilla Protein Freeze yet, I tried making cinnamon
ice cream with a vanilla protein powder I have in my cupboard and it was a flop. I don’t know what makes Protein Freeze different, and they are understandably holding that trade secret close to their pecs because, trust me, I asked. I guess they can keep their secret and as long as they keep making it no one will get hurt.
Now I really must go, I need to place an order for Protein Freeze and ask Santa to bring me this popsicle maker so I can make my Muscles Pop!
