My colleague promised to lend me their Ninja Creami but they forgot to bring to the office on Friday, in my mind I was already hyped up for an ice cream treat over the weekend, so I ended up making these frozen protein slabs.
You can obviously tweak the amounts to fit your own macros, but here is what I used for this batch: makes 4 mini waffle slabs.
35g protein powder (I used a chocolate coconut flavour whey)
5g cocoa powder
30ml unsweetened soy milk
40g peanut butter
150g low fat cottage cheese (I know it's an odd choice but it fits my goal lol)
I folded it all together and then used a hand mixer to blend the hell out of it until the cottage cheese was smooth.
The first time I tried this, I used a standard chocolate bar mould (the second photo, speculoos flavour). It froze into a solid block and was too hard to bite into straight out of the freezer, so I had to wait for it to soften. I should have made the slab thinner. I then switched to a waffle mould for the next batch and it solved the problem. Because of the shape, the frozen slab is still easy to bite into instead of being a thick hard slab.
I had the chocolate one on a slice of keto bread like a makeshift ice cream sandwich. It was glorious. I generally like earthy flavours, so this really worked for me.
