Wish I would feel comfortable enough to post a picture of my abs! Nothing wrong with people putting the hard work in and showing their results with a picture. Really?

here is the recipee for zucchini ice cream…
I made Zucchini Mint Ice Cream last night.
It tasted great! So I thought I would share the recipe

Here is the base recipe
1 cup frozen raw zucchini chucks
1/2 cup frozen raw banana chunks
A drizzle of raw organic honey to your desired sweetness
1/8 tsp mint flavoring or to taste

Peel bananas and zucchini. Cut into small chucks and freeze in an air tight container. I used a plastic freezer bag
Place frozen zucchini and banana chunks into a food processor or high speed blender
I added the mint and honey before blending.
Blend until it turns a nicely blended ice creamy texture. Don't over blend

Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, fruit or what ever you want to add to mixture.
You can eat it now or put back in the freezer in freezer safe container.
Enjoy!

I get the feeling that *dry heave* was not part of the OP. You are so mean telling people not to be offended when someone is trying to be all logical and stuff with them... There is just no room for logic here :laugh:

are you saying zucchini ice cream is logical?

LOL lets not go there….

I assume the clean eating threads are around the corner..that train is never late either...

I don't understand why you care so much what other people do

Lots of supposedly grown ups around her seem unusually fixated on the lives, practices, and habits of other adults.

It's...odd. It's one thing to discuss, and debate even, but there is an MFP contingent that seems personally affronted by what others choose to, or not to, put in their mouths. It's like they have a personal investment in it, which goes beyond reason.

It's sort of comical. This is really the only forum I've seen where people repeat the same basic statements over and over again, and people of the same ideology jump in the thread to say "great post" and "well said!".

Yes, it's equal parts bizarre and hilarious.

I'm especially amused by the people who seem threatened by, or downright angry at, those who are trying some specific eating regiment, or avoiding trigger foods that might hinder them. The "YOU NEED TO EAT ICE CREAM TO LIVE!!!!" crew always shows up, straight mad at folks for putting the doughnut down or forsaking poptarts. And don't let somebody say they're a "clean" eater, that gets folks panties all bunched up.

Sometimes I wonder if people here are secret shills for various food corporations. It's the only sensible explanation.

I was referring to the part about not having success with fad diets. I'm not sure I can defend zucchini ice cream... I could give it a go if you really want, but I'll need to grab my tin foil hat first.

RunsOnEspresso

All very good points.

But is it just me or does the zucchini ice cream idea actually look interesting and worth a shot?

Off to think about zucchini cake recipes.... :bigsmile:

My mom used to make a chocolate zucchini cake with fudge frosting. It was sooooo good. The zucchini made the cake moist and I doubt it was low calorie, especially with that frosting!

Great post!! I especially agree with #3! :drinker:

Alas, people already tried that, but then their profile pictures got reported.

I'm a staunch and proud ice cream fan. It's my favorite food.

I've not had it, but Zucchini ice cream isn't unheard of. It use to be serve in a couple gourmet ice cream shops here in NYC. And Zucchini gelato is a dish served in Italy. It's apparently delicious. It's beyond me why this is a joke in this thread. All it does is highlight the fact that quite a few of you have very myopic views of cuisine.

I believe what people are trying to say is that there are no "good' or "bad' foods, just food that you eat and utilize as energy. So why restrict oneself to the point of torture? But hey, if you want to torture yourself with water fasts and the like, more power to you.

IMO it is idiotic to restrict certain foods just because someone says they are "bad"...

Well, strap on and keep up! Seriously though, you have raised some valid concerns. How to solve them is another story.
