PSA for newbies!! (Or really anyone)
To preface: ice cream is my favorite food and I’m on a weight loss journey
I’ve been liking the creami a decent amount but I haven’t loved most of the recipes I tried. A big reason is that I hate the taste of artificial sugar and I feel like the recipes are too high calorie for how they taste and the satisfaction I get out of them. EVERYTHING changed for me when I stopped trying to pack the protein in and just focus on low calorie and good taste. The two biggest hacks I’m using right now are using monkfruit/allulose sugar (zero artificial sugar taste at all— I know I couldn’t believe it either so don’t take my word for it just try it) and using whole milk. Whole milk because it tastes good. The recipe I’ve been making lately has 1.5 cups whole milk, a few tbsps monkfruit/allulose, salt, xantham gum, cake batter flavoring, and 1.5 tbsp butterscotch pudding mix (probably optional it barely adds any taste you could def do without) This tastes SOO GOOD, and it’s like 150-200 calories for 2 cups. I love packing in the protein but it just wasn’t worth it for how much I had to sacrifice for the taste. This honest to god tastes like real ice cream. And it’s way lower calorie than the protein pints I was attempting before. So if you’re trying to lose weight but also want the best possible tasting ice cream, keep it simple and ditch the protein shakes/powders!!!
