Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Ice Cream

This stuff is the coolest stuff ever. It's peanut butter powder (the right one has chocolate. can you say mmm mmm good?) and the only thing in it is peanuts, salt, and sugar (and cocoa powder for the chocolate one, obviously). That's it -- no ingredients you can't pronounce or have no idea what they are. How cool is that? You just add water and you have creamy peanut butter that tastes splendiferous (yep, new word). Better yet, it has less calories, less fat, less carbs, less sugar, for the same serving size. I could eat it by the spoonful and I did, kinda.

Hello heaven in a dish. This was decadent good. Thank Bob that its so filling because otherwise I would've probably eaten the ENTIRE batch. Are you licking the screen yet? You should be. It's that good. 

Protein Ice Cream isn't quite like traditional ice cream, I mean it could be if I used whole milk and cream, but soy milk doesn't have as high a fat content which changes the texture a little bit (mostly you just have to let it sit on the counter for 20 minutes or so before you try to scoop it because it freezes so hard). However, it's a trade I'm willing to make to enjoy decadent treats that actually fulfill a nutritional need and don't make me feel guilty or worry about my waistline, you know? I have a scoop (or two because that's the portion) every night and the pounds continue to melt off. That could, of course, still be because I'm only eating about 800 - 900 calories a day but if you incorporate it into a healthy eating lifestyle, it should do the same for you.

Are you drooling yet? You should be. I had this for breakfast. Yeah, it rocks to be me. 

The best thing: I gave this to 4ft for breakfast and he looked at me in disbelief and said, "Mom, this is ice cream! I can have ice cream for breakfast? Wait! Forget I asked."

"Why?"

"I don't want you to change your mind!" And he immediately started shoveling it in. 

After his plate was clean, he declared me the best mom ever (hey, I'll take it) and the best "baker" (it's never cook it's always baker -- apparently my kid thinks everything comes out of the oven?).
