Hugest-ever! According to dictionary.com, “hugest” is a word. Rejoice!
Yesterday, at around 3PM, I finally jumped on the protein-ice-cream bandwagon.
Protein-licious. Yesterday, by the time I finished eating this thing, I was freezing! So I took the second part of my meal outside—two slices of Ezekiel cinnamon-raisin bread.
French Toast Trick: I used to think I didn’t like Ezekiel cinnamon-raisin bread, because it’s so dry. But I discovered the secret: Moisten the bread (a lot) with water or non-dairy milk, sprinkle with extra cinnamon and a tiny bit of salt, and microwave for 30 seconds. Sounds odd, but when it comes out, the bread tastes like French Toast! For reals. French Toast for lazy girls. As for the protein ice cream, here’s the recipe I used:
,
CCK Choco-holic Protein Ice Cream
- 22g chocolate protein powder
- 120g (1/2 cup) almond milk
- Scant 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp xantham gum
- Scant 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp guar gum
- 13 ice cubes
- 1/16th tsp salt
Blend. Good to freeze for 20-40 mins prior to serving, for ultimate chilliness. If you missed it, I highly recommend you check out HEAB’s Protein Ice Cream Tutorial.
As I was finishing off my own protein ice cream, the doorbell rang. What was at the door? I’ll give you a hint:
.Hint: Now I’ll be able to make my own Oatie Protein Sundae!
There was something else at the door, too. I swear, the postman probably thinks I’m running some sort of Texas mafia. Yeehaw! Twas another belated birthday present:
My grandma is the coolest.
Summary: Thanks to my mafia connections sweet friends and relatives, I am well-stocked in the foodie department for quite a while.

Katie! Lucky duck today with the mail!! Alright, it is offical- I am getting Vita Mix asap, good thing my bday is around the corner,lol!
Katie- stay fabulous, you are so great and I do feel so sorry for the unhappy people out there who are so very clueless…
oh my! I just read the negative comment for this post…I guess I was so excited to tell you about banana ice cream I didn’t look at the above comments! People can be SO mean and I’m glad you don’t let it bring you down! I used to work in an environment where everyone had “pig-ins” (a potluck where everyone bought the junkiest food they could make to share with everyone) and ordered out from fast-food restaurants every night! I always brought my own food (and healthy food to the pig-ins) and was taunted for being “insecure” and “anorexic”. I went home many days crying about how mean people were! Luckily I’m out of that environment and have (somewhat!) developed thicker skin!
Hi Katie! Don’t let the haters get you down. Especially people who aren’t brave enough to sign their name after their degrading comments. You take very good care of yourself, and it shines through in every photo posted of you. I think you are beautiful and sweet and perfect just the way you are 😀 I love your blog and your recipes, and I look forward to your posts every day. My husband even likes your recipes, and he is a PICKY eater 🙂 Thanks for everything you do!
Lazy girl’s French toast is EXACTLY what I need (want!). You always come up with quick, easy and simple recipes that taste great.
Katie, you’re such a beautiful girl, on the inside and out. I’m sorry you have to deal with jealous haters. xo
I’ll go ahead and jump to Katie’s defense too – why can’t people keep weight-related comments to themselves or just get their brain past these things? When did it become okay to make all the comments we want about other people’s bodies? The people who make such a big deal about other people’s sizes are, in my opinion, the obsessed ones – the ones who actually have a problem.
Katie is awesome! =) And I agree, a girl just can’t have healthy skin and hair like Katie’s if she is malnourished.
What a nasty, cowardly person that is who left that comment! I can’t believe what sort of person would do that… 🙁
I agree with VEGirl; if you were the slightest bit unhealthy or lacking in anything, you wouldn’t have such lovely, shiny hair *envy from this direction!* and beautiful, clear skin. I’m “skinny” too and although some people don’t realise how hurtful it can be when they comment on it, some, like this nasty piece of work, clearly do.
I’m glad you didn’t take any notice because the volume of nice comments shows exactly what people really think – you go, girl! 🙂
That looks sooo good. I love how creative you are!
