Low-Carb Almond Milk Ice Cream

Oh hum yum yum yum!!!! Ice cream. Mouth. Watering. Yum yum yum. How dare you post a video on Facebook about how to make simple ice cream and not post a Low-Carb version?!?! What is wrong with people?!?! But hey, that's okay because I can create something for myself, and this post is to share it! I'm sharing especially for my friend Bella in Melbourne Australia who loves ice cream too!! 

Ingredients

- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk 

- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/2 tsp coconut extract (or another extract flavor of your choice) 

- 2 squirts of liquid Stevia (or liquid Sucralose or 2 packets of powdered sweetener) 

- 2 dashes of salt 

Instructions

- mix all ingredients in a freezer safe container 

- freeze overnight 

- when you're ready to eat, zap in the microwave for 25-30 seconds and your ice cream will be ready

- enduldge!!

Carb Breakdown: ONE for the cup of milk! (If you substitute a powder sweetener for a liquid, there will be more carbs) 

You can also put yummy additions into your ice cream such as - cocoa powder, chocolate chips, nuts, berries, SF syrups (Torani, butterscotch, chocolate, etc). Just try to add something sweet and SF (to keep the carb count down) and viola! Overnight instant ice cream!! Hope you like it!!

Low-Carb/Egg Fast Pumpkin Spice Loaf

What are you craving?? I seem to always be craving sweets, especially when I'm doing an Egg Fast. I need something sweet to go with all the eggs that get bland after five days of fasting... ya know what I mean?!?! You know you do if you've ever completed an Egg Fast! 

Here's a simple recipe that satisfied my sweet tooth and my desire for pumpkin spice!! 🎃

Ingredients 

- 6 eggs

- 6 oz cream cheese

- 6 tbsp coconut oil

- 3 tsp pumpkin spice, which I made by mixing the individual spices: 1.5 tsp cinnamon (I added an extra tsp to my mix= 2.5 total tsp), 3/4 tsp nutmeg, 3/4 tsp ginger, and 1/4 tsp cloves 

- 5 squirts liquid Stevia - I used this one: 

Instructions 

- preheat the oven to 350

- melt cream cheese and coconut oil in microwave 

- add spices to the bowl

- add eggs to the bowl

- mix all ingredients together using a hand mixer 

- spray bread pan with a spray oil 

- pour mixture into bread pan 

- bake in oven for 30 mins 

When the loaf is done baking, it will be "big" because it has risen, but it will quickly deflate. 

Because I forgot to spray my bread pan with a spray oil, it stuck, so make sure you spray your pan!! 

Slice your loaf into 6 slices so that each slice is 1 egg, 1 fat, 1 cheese. 

Fall flavor in the Spring time! Yummm!!

Enjoy!!

Low-Carb/Egg Fast Egg Drop Soup

Here's a quick dinner recipe that's Low-Carb and Egg Fast friendly!! I made this while feeding the kids and finishing homework tonight and it hit the spot. 

Ingredients 

- 2 cups of chicken broth. I used boxed broth, but you can also use a bouillon cube and make your own broth. 

- 2 eggs

Instructions 

- pour 2 cups of chicken broth into a microwave safe bowl 

- microwave for 3 minutes until it's boiling hot 

- crack two eggs into the bowl. The boiling water will cook the eggs and make the eggs look stringy. 

- add some spices or bits of celery to the broth to complete your soup

Low-Carb/Egg Fast Cheese Loaf

Tonight I took an existing recipe courtesy of my co-administrator of the Facebook page Low-Carb & Egg Fast Support group, Jaslyn, and transformed it to my taste! It was quite delicious too and a perfect dinner as well! 

Ingredients 

- 6 eggs

- 3 tbsp butter

- 3 tbsp olive oil 

- 6 handfuls of Mexican blend shredded cheese

- 1 tbsp green Tabasco hot sauce 

Instructions

- preheat oven to 350 degrees 

- spray the bread pan with cooking spray 

- melt butter in a microwave safe dish 

- add eggs, olive oil, and hot sauce to the bowl and blend with a hand mixer 

- gently fold in 4 handfuls of cheese 

- pour the mixture into a bread pan and sprinkle 2 more handfuls of cheese on top

- bake for 30 mins

- let sit for a minute or two to allow the butter to seep into the loaf 

- slice into 6 pieces and enjoy!! 

I ate 2 slices- equivalent to 2 eggs, 2 fat, and 2 (handfuls) cheese for one meal. It was quite filling and, as I mentioned, delicious! 

Hope you'll try it too!!
