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.
I love Ezekial cinn/raisin toast, but I am going to try your idea since I love love love french toast. I love HEAB’s protein ice cream as well — although it doesn’t turn out the best in my magic bullet. I usually end up with 3-4 ice cubes that will not blend!
I wish I could eat a pint of ice cream in one sitting. 😛 I wasn’t even able to when I was trying to gain weight..mainly cause too many sweets really upsets my tummy. I need to give protein ice cream a try! Do you use a Magic Bullet, vitamix, or what? Cause all I have is a Magic Bullet and I almost killed it not to long ago with a super thick smoothie..so I’m thinking it wouldn’t hold up for ice cream. I could try, though! 😛
I don’t think the protein ice cream would work in the bullet. I think it needs a vita :(. But hey, you could try!!
have you made banana ice cream? just take frozen bananas put them in the blender or food processor with protein powder, cocoa powder, and maybe frozen blueberries and it’s so good!
I definitely love banana ice cream… but I’ve never made it with protein powder. I’m just starting to experiment with protein powder. So far, so good :).
That icecream looks pretty good Katie, I would love to try a vanilla version because despite lauuuuuuurving chocoloate, i dont like choco ice cream *blushes*.Fave recipe lately was a concoction of sweet potatoe, chillis and feta cheese, was realy yum.
xx
Oddly, I too am deeply in love with chocolate but have yet to find a chocolate ice cream that suits my fancy. It just doesn’t taste like chocolate to me :/
that protein ice cream looks delish! and i also hate that ‘too cold’ feeling but its kinda nice when you ‘thaw out’ in the sun/heat 🙂
i made a roasted cauliflower hummus that turned out really yummy! simple too!
Wow, that sounds amazing!
One pint in a sitting? Wow, I would be cold too! (and sick!)
Haha yeah, I never felt so hot afterward!
Funny you should ask about fav recent recipes – I went to a friends for dinner last night and since I have been dying to dry your fudge babies, I gave them a shot. They were awesome and everyone loved them! I made the original fudgies, some coated with coconut. Then I also made the PB version, again some with coconut and they were such a hit!! Easy-peasy and delish, thanks much!!
Aww Chris, I’m so so glad! 🙂 🙂
But they HAD to be a hit if coconut was involved! 😉
Ha! I love the look on your face when you are carrying all of those boxes 😀
My most recent yummy recipe has to do with muffins-carrot apple bran! Yumm…
Katie,
I’m a new non-vegan subscriber, and can I say HOLY MOLY YOU MAKE THE VEGAN DIET LOOK DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the inspiration. I’ve already started using your recipes.
Wow, oh Steph, your comment was (is!!) so so sweet! 🙂
