true - it's added to thicken but also helps with the 'icy' factor - creates a more creamy, ice cream-like consistency.

Public service announcement— protein ice cream fluff does NOT fluff well with almond/coconut milk blend. I think the fat from the coconut wrecked it. I mean, I ate it anyway, and it was yummy - but texture was off.5

Thanks i have Xanthum gum just not Guar gum

Thanks for the heads up! I've never used anything but cashew milk or almond/cashew blend.
I'm still obsessed with making this stuff! I'll never get sick of it.3 -

Lol....a friendly version of jello which has been auto spell check corrected as it's not a UK English word
@pinggolfer96 thanks.....I hadn't thought of that
You can buy Hartleys Sugar Free jelly on Amazon UK. Different flavours. A whole sachet is about 35 calories. I've got loads of the stuff. They used to do in Tesco, too, not sure if they still do.

Also, not all protein powders work well with it. I tried PES in it and it didn't fluff well at all. And that's a whey/casein blend. I was bummed, because that's their Frosted Chocolate Cupcake is one of the best chocolate protein powders out there.
Quest always does really well for protein fluff and protein ice cream.
Caveat: I have celiac disease and my selection of protein powders is limited because of it. A lot of them are manufactured on shared equipment. I don't have experience with a lot of different brands.
Recommendation: Go for the protein ice cream. It's much better than protein fluff. It's really a lot like soft serve.
I love Enlightened ice cream recently, but I am going to start making the protein ice cream since it's cheaper per serving & I still have a lot of protein powder/casein powder to go through.0 -
Anyone have any tasty veggie soup recipes? I've been eating a lot of soup lately and trying to mix it up.
One of my favourites is Jamie Oliver's carrot orange ginger soup. Its just a basic carrot soup but you add the grated peel of an orange and then add the juice as well. And about an inch worth of grated ginger (adjust depending on how much you like ginger). Once its cooked, put it in the blender, or use an immersion blender. It has a little more carbs than a regular veggie soup but to me its worth it.
I'm loving this thread! Over the winter my favourite food was a tray of roasted veggies (cauliflower, brocolli, peppers, carrots, asparagus, beets, brussel sprouts, etc). I would fill the tray with full intention of saving half to take for my lunch the next day. Uh, no. I'd eat it all. But now I have met like minded people on here and I don't feel so bad about doing it lol2 -
Trust me, they do work just fine. Make sure its egg whites and not egg beaters.
I still need to make this recipe!0 -

Riced cauliflower in the middle but the dusting is onion and garlic powder.
wow...that's a lot of powder! I'd love it:))))))2 -

I put a TON of onion powder on my salads and veggies, LOL. I find it really gives salads a great flavor and almost like a chip coating, (I mixed it up after this) when it mixes with and thickens the dressing. So good!3 -
We have the same one, love itlaurenebargar wrote: »If anyone is the in the market for a new blender:
The nutribullet RX has been a godsend, it has "Souperblast Mode" which makes hot soup in seven minutes, my favorite so far is:
Zucchini
Onion
Chicken Broth
Seasoning
Mix in 1 tablespoon of sour cream and blend for 30 more seconds
Creamy soup at 68 calories a serving, I can eat the entire blender full for under 300 calories to go with my main meal if its not filling enough

here's now another q for you...what is the dressing you use/make?0 -

This particular time I used Trader Joe's balsamic (25 cal). But my favorites are walden farms honey dijon, skinny girl balsamic (10cal), and light italian (10-25cal). I typically stick to <30 calories per 2 tbsp dressings. I also add some type of hot sauce to the salad and a squirt of fresh lemon.
Then I add onion powder, garlic powder, no salt salt, italian seasoning, and a pinch of sweetener to balance the spiciness of the hot sauce.1 -

I do this too...usually add in smoked paprika - tumeric - black pepper- ginger powder - cumin and saurerkraut or Kimchi too...I'm obsessed with spices!

For Tumeric specifically (or a blend that has it), what type of foods does it work with? I’m vegan and have tried it on veggies and thought it was terrible - I assume I used too much or had a bad combo. Thoughts?
I am not a spice expert, but new new obsessions are Trade Joe’s, Everything but the Bagel, and my new love, vanilla bean powder. Yum.2 -

I think of curries when I think of turmeric. Google Aloo gobi.1 -

Turmeric is one of the spices that is best bloomed before adding to a recipe. Blooming turmeric takes a lot of the bitterness out of it. I use it in a lot of things, after blooming, pizza sauce, tofu scramble, chick pea salad and, of course, Indian food.
PS, I’m vegan as well.1 -

^I do the same...great in my scrambled 'eggs' (the tofu scramble you mentioned). I love it soups and curries - which I have very often. I've tried 'tumeric milk' - I like it (used almond milk w/vanilla stevia). I like it, but it's probably an acquired taste - very 'earthy'0 -
Dinner tonight was tasty! It is mahi mahi on top of cauliflower rice. The sauce is a hatch green chili - also mixed in the rice. This was a lot less calories than I typically eat for dinner - around 200ish. I have already had quite a bit of food today and some of it was pretty calorie desnse (perogies, frosted apple bar, fruit streusel bar, protein bars - yes plural I had 2, a pint of strawberries).

I don't like the taste, but fyi it's great for arthritis. I give the pill form to my dogs, the oldest stopped limping from arthritis & is doing well. I make paste & just eat it2 -

I know someone who does it with quinoa. She mixes tumeric, cumin and paprika into the water with the quinoa. Then add roasted garlic after. She ate the quinoa blend with a lot of different combos one of which was sautéed spinach, portabella mushroom, cherry tomato and cashews.2 -

Triple whammy for me.
I also hate cumin and quinoa! But the spinach, mushroom and tomato part sounds delish.
Hope everyone is off to a very filling Summer.2 -
