Ice Cream Maker



Recommended Posts

Was it difficult to make? I don't cook or bake much so if there are a lot of steps to follow , and a lot of ingredients to add in, I 'd probably mess it up.

I do want to make Protein ice cream though!

No, it was really simple, because, well, the ice cream maker does all the work. I doubled the recipe from eggface, and did 2 cups of 2% milk, and 4 scoops of Protein powder (I used Jay Robb vanilla flavor, it's sweetened with Stevia) and then about 2 tbsp. of vanilla sugar free Jello pudding mix (powdered form.) I whisked it with a hand whisk in a bowl (just to prevent lumps) and dumped it into the machine. The machine did the rest of the work. If you are going to add mix-ins (eggface uses all sorts of SF items to add to hers) you add it to the machine during the last 5 minutes. I didn't add any mix-ins to mine and just did plain vanilla.

And I think the cheaper ones work just fine too, but since this was a bday gift from my hubby, I wasn't going to return it and get a cheaper one lol. He bought this one because it can make 2 qts of ice cream and he thought that would be better since we are a family of 4. The smaller ones would work just fine for 1 or 2 people, easily.

That is great!! I'm wondering if Lactaid milk would work too... since I'm severely lactose intolerant it seems since I got the sleeve. If anyone tries it with Lactaid let me know. :) Though since I don't eat ice cream anymore, maybe its just best to keep at it with no ice cream? *sigh* What to do!!!!

You can even use soy milk. I have the cheeper one, the cuisinart ice20, I paid $31 including shipping on line for a refurbished one in the box. I'm sure they work the same, but the stainless is Sweeeeet! Happy Birthday! I am not going for anything to icy quite yet, but I made SF ice milk before surgery and it was good. Eggface almost always uses soymilk, and I see recipes for sorbets... so Im sure lactaid would work fine. The freeze is soft serve which is nice, but if you want more of a scoop, just freeze for an hour or so in tupperware. I can't wait for this summer and frozen Protein drinks! (I probably WON'T wait till this summer...)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
