Ice cream? page 2

[RogerDeRok]

Once I was missing the chocolate peanut butter milkshakes from a local diner here in town so I put the following stuff in my smoothie maker and made a pretty damn good milkshake:


coconut milk

ice cubes

unsweetened cocoa powder

almond butter


Came out pretty good but SUPER heavy. I got really full off of it.

This weekend i was craving something sweet and frozen. So as i was walking around the yard, i noticed how nice the rhubarb looked! So i picked a few stalks, chopped them into pieces and simmered them w/ a small amount (1-2 tbsp) of water. I added a splash of organic vanilla, cinnamon, and about a cup of fresh strawberries. Turned the heat off and mashed it all together and put it in the freezer after it cooled. It froze pretty solid so i had to defrost it in the fridge for a few hours before i could eat it. It was really good! My niece (15 months) loved it, as well! I liked having the bites of strawberries that didnt mash completely, but i considered putting it the food processor to smooth it out.

You can chop and freeze bananas, then blend/process them into soft-serve. Sweeten and add your favorite ingredients. It's a fast and tasty snack.

Sweeten....Bananas? Honestly, frozen bananas are more than just sweet enough.

[cc40]

Sweeten as-you-like, if-you-wish, etc. Or none at all.

I second Katamani's recipe. My wife and I make this once a month or so and enjoy greatly

I have to share. I was COMPLETELY addicted to ice cream... Dreyer's Mint Chocolate Cookie (1/2 the fat, so I could eat twice as much!).... well, I finally realized it ended up on my love handles and butt!


I have been primal this entire week, and proud to say I have not had a molecule of ice cream...


I will check out Katamani's recipe. I enjoy coconut milk in my smoothies (instead of regular milk) - protein powder, berries, almonds, flax and sometimes a bunch of organic spinach.
