I have an ice-cream maker that I never use and decided to drag it out and see what I could come up with. Here's a VERY simple recipe that is fat free and sugar free:

3 cups of Greek vanilla fat-free yogurt (toss the liquid)

10 packets of splenda

1 tsp vanilla extract

THAT is the basic recipe (easy enough?). LOL. You mix all the ingredients and then follow the directions on the ice-cream maker. Each cup is 180 calories and has 11 g of Protein.

You can "kick it up" by adding whatever you like the last 5-10 minutes of processing such as:

- Dried fruit

- Fresh fruit

- Peanut Butter

- Nuts of your liking

I added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the basic recipe and it was delicious. You can also make the basic recipe and serve it over fresh berries, etc.

Enjoy!

SOUNDS VERY YUMMY. I'd love to have something cold on my throat right now

The next time I make it, I'm going to try the regular non-fat yogurt (as opposed to the Greek kind) and see if it makes a difference.

Yeah, that Greek yogurt is expensive and I have never found it in very big containers. I should run out and find me an ice cream maker. It sounds wonderful.

I got it in a quart size but will buy non-Greek style next time to see if there is any difference in the end product.

My last accidental recipe was tofu chocolate pudding. It is very simple, loaded with Protein and low cal and you would never tell it was made from tofu

1 container of silken tofu at room temp

2 tablespoons cocoa

1 to 2 squares unsweetened chocolate (melted)

stevia or equal to taste

thats it. My sister was amazed and it tastes very rich

Thank you! I'm going to give it a try!

That does it -- I'm digging out my ice cream maker as soon as I get home ... that way it will be all ready when I can start mushies ... or would it fall under full liquids?

Keep those recipes coming - I'm going to start a recipe book .. who knows, may we can publish it and all get rich? LOL

It's a full Fluid. So is the fat-free Jello pudding.

I make my own Greek yogurt using the regular fat free plain yogurt. What I do is take a coffee filter and place it in a strainer which in turn is placed over a bowl. I put a cup of yogurt in there and keep in the fridge overnight. In the morning it is like yummy fat free creamy Greek yogurt. I bet you can even make cheesecake out of it, its that good.

Cool. I'm already looking forward to full fluids ... and like everyone else seems to have ... am craving tomato soup! Bob did pick up some cup-of-Soup tonight and it was beef .. nice change from chicken broth ... I also put some chicken broth in the crock pot and added a bunch of veggies for flavor (suggested by another poster) and I will eat on that while Bob eats the veggies :-) ... I am already tired of Clear liquids I can tell you that!

Oh I can't wait to try that tofu recipe!

So, in celebration of getting to start full liquids tomorrow, :party4:I went on Eggface's website and found the following ice cream recipe to make (there are soooo many good ones; however, I had the ingredients for this one)

Shelly's chocolate Caramel Protein Ice Cream

1 cup vanilla Soy Milk (or Regular Milk)

2 scoops Chocolate Protein powder

1 Tablespoon sugar free Torani Syrup (I used SF Caramel)

1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Torani Syrup (SF Chocolate) (recipe called for 1 teaspoon Sugar Free Caramel Sauce; however I didn't have any)

Mix all ingredients together - I aerated mine in the blender to be make it airy and lump free. Pour into ice cream maker. Follow your machine's instructions for freezing. Makes 1/2 pint.

You can eat it then (it's soft servish) but I like to put it in the freezer for 1 hour to harden up a bit.

Eggface suggests the following toppings:

Land o' Lakes SF Whipped Cream, Chopped Walnuts, Smucker's SF Hot Fudge Sauce, and a Maraschino Cherry [however, none of these are full liquids, so mine will be bare.]

It will be 280 calories, 40 g protein, 14 g carbs for a 1 Cup serving.

I hope it tastes good - will let you know.

I have an ice cream maker. I bought it to make protein ice cream. But I find I don't use it much. Not sure why, but one reason is because my ice cream often comes out kind of sorbet-ish. Plus my recipe makes *way* too much and it doesn't taste the same when I freeze it and eat it later.

that sounds really awesome

Well I remembered last night that I had made the ice cream -- too late for me to eat any before bed; however DF did have some. He said "this isn't bad" and ate the cup I had given him. In getting ready for bed, he said he really liked it. I said good. Does it need something or not need something. He said he wished it was sweeter; however the carmel flavor was perfect.

So this morning I get up, get the cup out of the freezer I fixed for me last night, take one or two bites and that's it -- it's so darn SWEET I can't eat anymore. I'm BUMMED :tongue_smilie:

So I guess he gets the rest of this flavor and I'm off to discovery something else that's not quite so sweet ... maybe Ruthi's tofu find ...
