I have gotten a lot of questions on Instagram (plus a lot of criticism) from people asking me about this recipe. When they see the ingredients and more importantly that - in my case- I use a meal replacement shake mix rather then protein powder and I chose the meal replacement route for a few reasons.. For one thing I know and trust this brand of shakes. I use the Healtheries Naturally Slim Powder in Cookies and Cream - which is available nationwide in New Zealand - as I discovered these shakes during my weight loss journey a few years back and they were a real life saver. They are also pretty reasonably priced being $27.99 for 18 servings with a lot of the time it being on sale for around $24.00. and really another main reason why I use this over a protein powder is the nutrients that are within the powder. With this shake you get for every 2 scoop serving (amounts to a regular protein powder scoop) there is 97 calories, 10g of protein, a good amount of carbs, calcium and a whole lot of vitamins and minerals which you would never get out of a protein powder.
Keep in mind I don't count macros or do any type of special diet so this isn't a problem for me, but if it is just use something that fits with whatever you need.
So onto the recipe...
Ingredients:
- 1 scoop of any flavour Protein Powder (or anything else you want to use)
- 1 1/4c Milk (any type you want) - divided
- Sugar or Sweetener to taste
Method:
- Mix together your protein powder, sweetener and 1c of the milk together until everything is smooth and there are no lumps
- Pour mixture evenly into an ice cube tray (I even use a silicone mini muffin tray) and freeze the mixture completely.
When ready to eat:
- Put the frozen mix into the food processor with the remaining 1/4c milk and blend until you get a smooth ice cream consistency - will be more like soft serve
- Top with whatever toppings you want and enjoy
