BuyBulkWhey Weight Loss Challenge

I just order my first 5 lbs of Pure Whey Protein!!

I am starting a new challenge called the Bulk Weight Lost Challenge. This will start on 04/19/2010 and will end on 05/25/2010. As a Lap band patient, protein intake is very important.

This is my sample eating schedule during my challenge.


Breakfast - BuyBulkWhey Smoothie
Mid Morning - Protein
Lunch - Protein/Veggies - Lunch
Afternoon - BuyBulkWhey Smoothie
Dinner - Protein/veggies - Dinner

The Challenge ticker is placed below. Of course my trusty SportPal will track my workouts!!

Protein Ice Cream

Protein ice cream
by Onyah from Lapband Talk

I used this recipe’s directions, with the following ingredients:

2 ½ cups 2% milk
1/3 cup granulated Splenda
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 scoop protein powder (I used Bariatric Eating’s Peanut Butter Cookie)

I dissolved the protein powder in a small amount of milk, then stirred it in right before freezing. I also chopped up 3 Butterfinger mini-eggs leftover from Easter and added them in at the very end (when the ice cream maker had one minute left).

I scooped the finished product into little Gladware half-cup containers; it filled six. By my math, here are the stats per serving for the ice cream alone:

Calories: 90; Fat: 2 g; Carbs: 9 g; Protein: 8 g

And with the Butterfinger pieces (totally worth it, in my opinion):

Calories: 112; Fat: 3 g; Carbs: 12 g; Protein: 8 g

It’s smooth, creamy, tasty, and makes me very happy. The NYT article explains how the cornstarch helps keep crystals from forming, and makes for ice-creamey texture without high-fat ingredients such as heavy cream or egg yolks (though I do intend to experiment with some egg-based recipes in the future – it’s protein, after all)!

Next I wanna try it with strawberry protein powder and throw in some chopped berries. Yum!

I drink two 16 oz protein shakes per day. I use the 100% natural whey protein from BuyBulkWhey.com. It has No artificial flavors, No artificial colors, No artificial sweeteners and No MSG. The powder has NO taste to me. So it so easy to add any flavoring to my homemade smoothies.
