Chocolate Almond Milk Ice Cream & Protein Muffins

Posted May 31 2010 12:00am

Just a couple recipes for you today, but there good ones!

Last night I made a new “ice cream,” and oh my, this is a huge improvement. Heating the Almond Milk and blending in Xanthan Gum completely changes the texture to make it much more creamy and thick. This is a must try!

2 c Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze (UVAB)

1 c Sucant (0-cal Sugar Substitute)

1/4 c Raw Cacao Powder

1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum

Add-In: Chopped Pecans/Walnuts/Almonds

Combine 1 c UVAB, Sugar & Cacao in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk to get the sugar & cacao to dissolve. Bring mixture to a slow boil. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute. Mix in the rest of the UVAB and Vanilla Extract. Pour into a blender, add Xanthan Gum and blend for a minute. Pour into Ice Cream Maker and let it do it’s thing for 30 minutes or so. Add chopped nuts at the very end. Enjoy half and freeze the rest (makes 2 servings).. or enjoy half and go back 20 minutes later to finish it off :p

For another tasty addition top with Maple PB2 Syrup.

2 tbsp PB2

1 tbsp 0-cal Maple Syrup

This second recipe I got from my friend Kyla, a fellow STS Figure girl . She brought these to the clean eating potluck I went to a week ago, and I just loved them.

1 cup Oats

1 cup Egg Whites

½ cup Fat Free Cottage Cheese

1 scoop Protein Powder

2 packets Stevia or Splenda

1 tsp Baking Powder

Optional Add-Ins:

2 Bananas

½ cup Pumpkin

½ cup All Natural Nut Butter

½ cup Blueberries

Mix all ingredients together. Choose an Add-In. Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes. Recipe makes 12 muffins.

I ended up making 6 plain muffins and 6 with blueberries.
