Strawberry Protein Ice Cream

Did you ever feel like something was missing on a diet? Something very important to life actually IS missing: ice cream! There are some very good diet-conscious ice creams on the shelves but there is an issue: when you are craving ice cream at say…2 a.m., do you really feel like driving all the way to the supermarket and then pay as much as $5 a pint for it? Well now you don’t have to, and you don’t even have to have an ice cream maker! How about them apples? It does help to have a good blender that turns ice cubes into slush but you can get this done with a $20 special like I have and still make some darn decent dessert. 

Without further ado, I bring you the easiest, cheapest, healthiest, highest protein ice cream you can possibly get! Try not to get a brain freeze like I did…Blonde hair and brain freezes can be a dangerous combination! 

Ingredients:

Directions:

Put 6-7 ounces of the almond milk into the blender with the other ingredients and set aside the rest of the almonds in the fridge. Blend; add to an ice cube tray, and then freeze. When frozen, put the ice cubes in the blender with the rest of the almond milk. If you have trouble getting the cubes out of the tray, then fill the bottom of your sink with hot water and rest the tray in it for a few seconds and they will pop right out. You can use even more almond milk if that’s what it takes. You may need to mess around with the blending part for a while until it all gets blended if you have a cheapo blender like mine. Once it’s ready then enjoy your guilt-free cheat meal!
