Thanks for all the congrats...
Arctic Zero Ice Cream is good, BUT I've just cracked the code on making my own versions of ice cream which is much more cost effective. I will be posting my Pumpkin Granola Chocolate Brownie High-Protein, High-Fiber Ice Cream real soon.0 -

And here it is folks. Pumpkin Granola Chocolate Brownie High-Protein, High-Fiber Ice Cream. ENJOY. But first I must warn you experiment in small batches because your macronutrient needs and totals may be different than mine. But the base recipe and instructions are the same. It's up to you to play with the toppings or innards as the case may be.:bigsmile:
The carb macro here is higher because I needed them to be higher for today and tomorrow. I chose to bulk this out with carbs via two FiberONE granola bars and three FiberONE brownies. OR you could have easily substituted with 3 to 4 pop tarts. It's up to you. Go with out the FiberOne adds or pop tarts and you get a very low carb, high fiber, high protein ice cream.
Use the whole darn can. Each serving has about 9g of CHO, but 5g of that CHO is fiber.
Zucchini peeled and washed. You are not using this many, I just like to prepare in batches.
Your choice of cinnamon and the amount you wish, just account for it.
Your choice of sugar-substitute and the amount you wish, just account for it.
300g of zucchini. I know the scale says 299g, it's close enough
Put the entire contents of the pumpkin and 300g of zucchini into a ziplock bag and smash flat. It freezes easier and quicker this way.
Takes a good 3-4 hours and it should be frozen like this...
Break it up and leave it in the bag for now.
Use about 3.5 scoops of your choice of vanilla whey. If making a chocolate or strawberry ice cream, use the appropriate whey flavors. I use chocolate in my upcoming ice cream project called Cookie Crisps 'N Cream Ice Cream (coming soon)
Add 1/2 cup of 2% milk and your whey protein.
mix...not much really to say here...just mix. :laugh:
Add the pumpkin and zucchini and start slow and then move to medium and then to high. Should look fluffy and completely incorporated like this.
There should be THREE of this FiberONE brownies. I only took a photo of two then realized I needed to his certain macro goals and added the third brownie after this photo was taken.
Crumble and mix it with a spoon Cold Stone Creamery Style
when removing the unfrozen ice cream mixture, make sure to get everything. Since everything was weighed and measure, this remnant in the bowl are "lost macros" I'm afraid...:sad:
Put in a large tupperware container for freezing.
This is a comparison of two of my servings of pumpkin brownie ice cream versus 1 pint of Arctic Zero ice cream.
I realized that this big tupperware will not fit in this freezer or the 2nd fridge/freezer we have in the garage so I had to put it in 4 smaller tupperware containers increasing the "lost macros" from transferring from one container to another...:huh:
Take two of these and crumble and mix in Cold Stone Creamery Style
This is one scoop of ice cream. One scoop is "typically" one serving of "regular ice cream. But since there is so much volume of food with low caloric load, I will be having 6 scoops. The macros with the brownies and granola bars is 88c/14f/51p 30g of CHO of the 88g of CHO is fiber. Basically you are getting your WHOLE DAY's worth of fiber in, in one short. If you want to reduce the fat and fiber content sub out the FiberONE bars and brownies with pop tarts. I should have done this because all that fiber in one shot leaves you very full feeling... VERY FULL FEELING.
Six scoops per "helping" or "serving" depending on your macros.
Close up for texture...

The kids and wife pretty much ate it all. Healthy snack and then they added the not so healthy stuff like Fruity Pebbles cereal, full fat chocolate syrup, and marshmallows. At least the base ice cream was healthy. 0 -

Turkey Chili, each serving is nearly 3 lbs of food. NO JOKE. 3 lbs. of food is hard to eat in one sitting so I suggest eating half portions and adding protein shakes to supplement the food. Macros per serving as I need them to be are 94c/20f/55p.:drinker:
Here we go...................
Here are the macros. Don't be fooled at the 94c/20f/55p. This will fill your stomach and leave you breathless and sleepy feeling.:laugh:
Very easy to make. Minimal measuring. The bulk of your ingredients are right here from Costco.
your choice and amount of ground cumin. I like a lot.
1 package of Jennie-O ground turkey 93/7. I guess you can get the dish leaner if you use the 97/3. Either way, fit it into your macros. You could get the leaner turkey and to be honest, you won't taste the difference.
15ml of this stuff
put all corn and beans into a strainer and rinse/drain the liquid.
here they are drained, mixed, and ready to plop into the pot.
saute onion, with garlic with 15ml of oil. (measured using couch syrup cup).
add the three cans of diced tomatoes
add zucchini
mix...
add the legumes....
For size reference, the pot is actually pretty big and takes up some space. Our stove is 8 burners big with two of the burners converted into a griddle.
Looks like a lot of food right, but wait, time to add water and simmer for about 10mins.
water added............................................
simmering for 10mins or so. Keep in mind, nearly fills the entire pot. Keep in mind this is 4 servings worth with macros of 94c/20f/55p...
Since I was simmering this pot for 10mins or so, I moved it to a different burner and again for size reference. It's not a small pot.
I measured all the chili and three "servings" is for me and one serving for the family put in two smaller containers. You can see one of the smaller containers in the upper left.
THE WEIGH IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's the kicker. Each serving is 94c/20f/55p with 26g of fiber in one sitting and the whole thing weighs 1,228 grams OR 1.228 Kilograms. Yeah, Kilograms...:bigsmile:
Don't like Kilograms? One serving of Turkey Chili is about 2lbs and 11.3 ozs PER SERVING. That's nearly 3 lbs of food. Macros again are 94c/20f/55p.:glasses:
I add this because I like spicy foods.
macros are 0/0/0
If you've ever eaten close to 3 lbs of food in one sitting it is not fun.:sick: So What I did was partition this out in half servings so the macros per container above are 47c/10f/28p and I vacuum seal them and into the freezer they go. If you are low-carbing it, then one of these smaller containers with macros of 47c/10f/28p would be fine but it lacks protein so a whey protein shake would be nice for another ~24g of protein. Now, into the freezer they go for easy of eating later (wife loves it as she doesn't really have to cook).
ENJOY FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
