Shelly's Apple Pie Protein Ice Cream
1 cup Vanilla Soy Milk (or Regular Milk)
2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Torani Syrup (I used SF Caramel)
2 oz. No Sugar Added Apple Baby Food (half a regular size jar)
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
dash of Nutmeg
1 Tablespoon Walnuts, chopped
4-6 Sugar Free Oatmeal or Shortbread Cookies, broken up (I use these)
Mix together milk, protein powder, syrup, apple, and seasonings together. 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 nuts and cookies (faux crust). 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 or so.

Highlights of the day:
* I had Starbuck's new Perfect Oatmeal for breakfast. It was yummy! I don't know about perfect but it's darn good. How's that?! 100% whole-grain with your choice of dried fruit or nut medley. I got both. It's unsweetened. You can add Splenda to it yourself or I bet they would give you a pump of one of the SF Syrups in it... Mmmm SF Cinnamon Dolce in oatmeal would rock. I didn't think it needed it. I added a splash of milk from the coffee bar, 1/2 of the packet of dried fruit and 1/2 the packet of nuts. The stats: 140 calories for just the oatmeal; 100 calories for nut medley (whole pouch); 100 calories for dried fruit (whole pouch). Soooo good. TY Starbucks!
* I ran into my old boss today at the Farmer's Market. She hasn't seen me since I was 2 weeks post op from RNY so -152 pounds and a lot of plastics later. She didn't recognize me. I had to say, "It's me Michelle" and her eyes bugged. LOL. I love those moments. BTW here's me in my Size 4's... finally shortened them.
* Mmmm more good eating today. Lunch today is leftover BBQ'd Chicken Kabobs from last night chopped up on a salad of fresh lettuce and cucumber from the Farmer's Market and the last of the tomatoes from my garden with a creamy cilantro dressing. It's hotter than you know what again today but there's a nice breeze so lunch is on the patio.

WOW! You look absolutely beautiful! Good for you!
I think you look good also, but the BBQ chicken looks even better. Sorry, but I'm hungry and even now when I do get hungry, I have food on the brain til I eat.
You look great in those jeans! Are you open with most folks that ask "how you lost the weight". Because that's the first question out of people I meet after losing 145 pounds. I am open to share, cause I don't know what else to say sometimes. :)
And can I come to dinner? Pizza's I'm going to try. Yummy
The oatmeal from Starbucks looks yummy! I went on the Starbucks site and it looks like they have a lot of healthier breakfast options plus some that have more protein. I will have to check them out.
You look great by the way! :)
baby food in ice cream.........ok, I'm gonna trust you, but this seems just a bit wacky - Michelle
Looking good girl! Can't wait til I have the weight and plastics behind me.. and in front of me and the sides of me...giggle
hugs,

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had been wondering about the Starbuck's oatmeal. Wasn't sure if it was some sort of mix or whatever...but every time I go thru the drive-thru the picture is SO yummy looking! Now that I know it's "safe" it is SO going in my tummy!
And thanks for the recipes...keep 'em coming! BTW....I made a lemonade ice cream last night (my attempt at a recipe) and ended up with something less than delightful. I added the juice of one lemon and the ice cream turned out flaky. It was OK....but like I said, not delightful. I am sure the acidity in the lemon had something to do with texture. Lemon extract or DaVinci's lemon syrup might be a better choice (or lemon pudding too). What do YOU think?
