Ice cream..kinda

I had a great idea today when I was watching my boyfriend make his daily protein shake! He uses the vanilla flavored powder that is sold in the giant tubs at GNC.

 One scoop (118 calories, 22g protein and a butt load of vitamins) and a bit of water to the appropriate thickness, stir and set it in the freezer until its frozen, or close to it! It makes an awesome heathy ice cream alternative and for me, someone who doesnt always eat the most balanced diet, provides the protein that I need and satisfys my sweet tooth!

I wouldnt suggest spending $50+  on the stuff, but if you already have it, or if you have a boyfriend who does..you should give it a try!

I don't have a protein-shake-making boyfriend but I do have a simple ice-cream maker.  We have a lot of fun over the summer inventing new flavours  and combinations.  Always has to be real cream at the heart of the recipe but the resulting ice-cream is so luxurious and rich that a small scoop is more than enough...
