Literally just created the best tasting ice cream I think I have ever made! OMG I have no shame in admitting that I licked the bowl clean just because I wanted to enjoy all of it! I typically make my protein ice cream and or mug cake every night right before I go to bed so my muscles can keep repairing themselves. That whole thing about not eating past 7 or 8 well I don't follow that at all and here is why:
I workout and I workout hard, My body needs food to build itself and recover. If the last time I were to eat was at say 6:30 (dinner time), I would not eat again until 6:30 the next morning. 12 hours without food and your body goes into starvation mode and according to what I have read if you don't have enough fuel in your system you body can start to attack the protein source aka your muscles! Eeeeeks I sure dont want that happening! Sleep is the time for my muscles to recover and grow so they still need fuel! Any source of protein is great for that because it releases slowing throughout the night. Specifically Casein protein powder is designed to release slowly so your body can continue to feed off of it while you sleep!
Anyways here is the recipe for my apple pie ice cream:
1/2 Scoop Cellucor Cinnamon Swirl Protein Powder
1/3 C Nonfat Cottage Cheese
1/3 C Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
Sprinkle of Cinnamon
1 Tsp Vanilla
Mix all these ingredients together and freeze for about 2-3 hours.
Then top with:
4 slices of an apple (chopped up)
2 tsp corn starch
1 stevia packet
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 Tb water
Mix all these ingredients in a plastic bag and microwave for 45 seconds.
Finally I topped mine with cinnamon swirl Peanut Butter (basically the best peanut butter ever created).
Thats it just indulge and enjoy!!!
