Ice cream maker

Preop I ate a bowl of ice cream every night. I have 2 questions: do you think an ice cream maker is worth it to buy? and if you do, do you have any protein ice cream recipes?

Thanks,

Marie

I know that eggface has a LOT of protein ice cream recipes. If you try one (after you get a maker) - could you post a pic and a review? lol. I would love to know how it turns out.

Go to this eggface link and scroll down to Friday, 8/3.
She has lots of ice cream recipes and a link to an ice cream maker on sale at Amazon.
I've been thinking about it----just haven't committed yet.
I've never been a big ice cream person--just need a change up to get in my daily protein PLUS I love gadgets!

I'm pre-op ( 5 more sleeps away!!!) and I bought an ice cream maker a few months ago to try out some of the eggface recipes. I LOVE IT and still have fun making up my own, even my family loves it. Here's a pic of one of my first creations -- chocolate almond roca protein ice cream. SO GOOD!

OMG that looks awesome!! What kind of ice cream maker do you have? what are the calories, carbs and protein for most of the ice cream recipes?

The calories are from my protein shake (150cal), and the picture I shared is only about half of it! I just mixed up my chocolate powder with some almond milk, and then added some torani sf almond roca syrup. I drizzled with some SF Hershey's Chocolate Syrup ( 15cal for 2tbsp, and honestly not the best sf chocolate out there =/ ). A lot of people add some of the sf jello pudding mixes as well -- I can't wait to try the cheesecake flavour and experiment with more of my sf syrups!

Because I use skim milk often, not full-fat milk, the mixture does get icy if I leave it in the freezer too long afterwards. I recently purchased some xanthan gum (a plant-derived thickening agent, only a small amount needed and it's all fibre) so that should help with the consistency. You can honestly do so much with one of these -- fruit sorbets, frozen yogurts, homemade ice cream cakes, etc. Mine only cost me $30 and it's a Cuisinart ICE-25 ( http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-ICE-25-Classic-Frozen-Yogurt /dp/B0009VELUK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1344483168&sr=8-4&keyw ords=ice-25+ice+cream+maker ).

And here's the Cuisinart ICE-21, also very popular. I think Eggface links to this one on her blog... http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-ICE-21-Frozen-Yogurt-Ice-Sor bet/dp/B003KYSLMW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344483194&sr=8-1&k eywords=cuisinart+ice+cream+maker

If you're just starting out I would definitely try investing in something under $50 just to see how you use it/like it/if it's worth it.

1 protein shake = approx. 150 cal depending on the type of milk I use (usually skim or unsweetened almond milk), 24g protein, 0.5g fat, 1g carbs. I can't eat the whole amount so what you see is actually only half of what my ice cream maker made with one shake :) The sf chocolate drizzle adds about 15 more calories.
