It's been awhile

Sorry, it's been awhile since I posted any new recipes.  Had a short stint in the hospital, seems my stomach has decided to stop working. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis.  The only affect it has on my diet is that I need to have six small meals a day (with medication) instead of three.  So I will still be following my low carb, high protein diet :)
With that being said, here's a great recipe I found today.
***Again, this calls for almond extract (can't use) so I will be doubling my vanilla extract.

Protein Packed Low Carb Ice Cream

Preparation

Combine ingredients in a blender or magic bullet. Puree until smooth and free of lumps, scraping down the food processor a few times. Freeze and store in a tupperware container in your freezer and consume immediately, or within two hours of making your ice cream. It turns into an icy rock beyond that point (unless you add a tablespoon of vodka to the mix). You can always pop the container in the microwave for a few seconds to defrost.
