kaitlynm 335 Posted May 9, 2016 The cuisinart ice cream maker is really easy to use. Just keep the tub in the freezer for 24 hours first. The tub goes in the machine and then there is a paddle that goes in the tub and the lid on top. Turn it on for 20 minutes and you have ice cream. Today I used 1 c half and half, 2 c almond milk, 1/2 cup stevia in the raw, 2 eggs, 3 scoops Protein powder, mint extract, and green food color. Im going to add dark chocolate chips once it has firmed up in the machine. Be sure to taste it before you put it in the machine so that you can adjust the taste if you wish. I almost forgot the stevia. Also make sure you get peppermint extract. I have mint extract which is spearmint. I think I would have liked the peppermint better. It looks pretty good so hopefully it will taste good. Good Luck on your experimenting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaitlynm 335 Posted May 9, 2016 I tried the Halo and really didn't like it. It could be that it was too old in the store. Kind of tasted like it had froze, unfroze, refrozen, etc. That experience is what led me to start developing my own recipes. It is also a lot cheaper to make your own if you have the machine.

Pedro Valle-Inclan 275 Posted May 10, 2016 I just found out that Herrell's Ice cream ships to you, you have to get a minimum of 4 pints. it comes in dry ice -they have several flavours. The Peanut Butter ice cream is fantastic, it doesn't seem like a no sugar product and it's 120 calories for three scoops. yum... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuilterGal 216 Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) I don't have a problem with Arctic Zero. I eat the ones with only 5g of sugar per serving. I have many more issues with lactose and since it's lactose free, it works for me. However, my favorite "ice cream" is mixing nonfat greek yogurt with frozen blueberries and stevia. The frozen blueberries turn the yogurt into a gelato sort of consistency. It's freaking delicious. Edited May 12, 2016 by QuilterGal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think honestly that's just how the Halo brand tastes IMO lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are still a special occasion treat because they have added sugars, but they are only 100 calories a bar for the ones not dipped in chocolate. They have them at Walmart and it’s Greek yogurt so they have 5G Protein. They have mint chocolate chip, cookie dough and sea salt & caramel. Not sure what phase you are in or whether they fit i to your calorie budget but they do taste pretty good. Edited May 17, 2022 by ShoppGirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
