Shelly's Black Cherry Protein Ice Cream
1 cup Vanilla Soy Milk (or Regular Milk)
2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Black Cherry Torani Syrup
1/2 cup fresh Cherries, pitted and chopped
Mix together milk, protein & syrup. I used this gadget to mix it up. It makes it airy and lump free. Pour into ice cream maker. Follow your machine's instructions for freezing. 5 minutes before done add the chopped cherries.
You can eat it right away it is soft serve-ish but I like to put it in the freezer to set for an hour. Optional: when you add the cherries you can toss in a few SF chocolate pieces and you have a weight loss surgery friendly version of B&J's top selling flavor: Cherry Garcia.
Highlights of the Day:
* Spending the day with my Mum. My Mum Rocks! She wanted fish and chips (she's a Brit you know) so I'm taking her down to the Irish Pub for dinner. I bought her flowers at the FM. She never wants "things" so I just sort of treat her to stuff whenever I see her oooh over something.
* I bought some great stuff at the Farmer's Market... super sweet pluots, cherries, strawberries, peaches, blueberries, some great cucumbers lately I am digging cucumbers dipped in Fage Pesto Dip, zucchini, onions, garlic, and a few other things I can't recall right now.
* Mum and I are going to give ourselves home pedicures later this evening. It's been hotter than you-know-where today and I just know soaking my hot temptress tootsies in cool water will be a highlight ;)

What is a pluot? Is it a cross between a plum and a kumquat (or however, the heck you spell it)? I have never heard of such a thing.
Happy Birthday to your Mum. How lovely to be able to share the day with her and for you to give each other pedicures. I wish I still had my Momma around. I loved her dearly as it is obvious you love yours.
Thanks for the recipe even though I am not partial to cherries, I always love your recipes. I check out your blog everyday (even though I may not comment) to view your latest creations.
Talk at ya later.

Hey Debbie,
A Pluot is a hybrid fruit. A cross between a plum (mostly and especially in looks) and an apricot. They are super sweet and juicy. Soooo good.
Thank you for the Mum birthday wishes. We had a lovely day despite it being hot hot hot. I know every day I have with my Mum (my best friend) is a lucky and blessed day. Remember yours is a guardian angel watching over you now.
Thank you so much for reading the blog. I never feel alone knowing my cyber pals are out there!

I love your ice cream recipies. Thanks so much for turning me on to the Donvier ice cream maker. I bought a little one on eBay and now use it every day. I use sugar free yogurt and add whatever else I can think of. It makes great frozen yogurt. Thanks again!!
