Guilt-Free Ice Cream Recipe

Wife of the Year Award should be headed my way this year.  Steve decided to try a new diet plan....and as a supportive wife, I decided to do it with him. It is the first time in our 15 year marriage that he has every tried any exercise and diet regime.  I, on the other hand, live constantly on different variations of plans, LOL.   Well, supporting Steve and his recent 22 pound vacancy has had it's positive benefits...I have also lost an additional 5 pounds.  

Of course, my role in the process is huge because, who do you think does all of the grocery shopping and cooking?  That's right.  Yours truly, the now 40-year-old domestic diva.  Using the website of the diet plan, I found this easy ice cream substitute that is based off of the protein powder:

The recipe:

• 2 frozen bananas
• 1 scoop of protein shake mix.  (We used the chocolate mint flavored mix from the same company. Read * note below)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or cashew mild (I used cocnut milk because its what we had.)
• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend for 1-2 minutes.  Place mixture in freezer for one hour to set.  

* I can not promise the same great results with just any protein powder.  Since this recipe came from the company and works with it's same mix...that is the only perspective I can give you.  Obviously try your mix to see if it works.  But, note that the Isagenix mix per scoop is 12 grams of whey protein, 5 grams of sugars, and only 120 calories.  When we use it as a meal replacement shake, we do 2 scoops.

*If you have any questions about what Steve and I are doing, reach out to me and I can give you a quick summary.  I can also refer you to Steve's link for pricing details.
