Trim Healthy Mama {Chocolate Ice Cream – “FP”}

I love the ice cream recipe in the Trim Healthy Mama book, but I don’t like to wait! So when I saw a recipe online for a protein shake, I adjusted it to make chocolate ice cream…and it is SO good! As you can tell by my picture below, it does start to melt fast. It is very “soft serve” but oh so good!
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM – “Fuel Pull”
- 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (can use plain or vanilla flavored)
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
- 1 heaping tablespoon cocoa
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- dash salt
- NuNaturals Pure Stevia Extract Powder – several shakes to taste
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon Glucomannan
Add everything but the Glucomannan to a blender and blend to break up ice. Add in the Glucomannan and continue to blend until smooth. Taste test and add more sweetener and/or salt as needed.
Serve immediately, put in the freezer to thicken a little more, or freeze and eat later. If you freeze it for later, you will need to let it sit for a bit to soften before eating.
I am thinking this would be very good served with my Fuel Pull Chocolate Cake! Yummy!
Yield: Makes 2 large servings!
Variations:
- Add a tablespoon of peanut flour to make a chocolate-peanut butter ice cream.
- Leave the cocoa out and replace some of the ice with frozen strawberries for a strawberry ice cream.
