I am still learning to navigate this site so excuse me if I am asking a question that is simple to find but what is IP Ice Cream. And can someone tell me how to get that ticker at the bottom of your message?

I'm not sure about the IP Ice Cream, but do know about the ticker. The ticker will be placed into your signature. You have to be a member of the forum for 20 days and have 20 posts before the Signature option is available in your User CP. I would say it's best to wait until 22-25 days. I started looking at my User CP every hour on what I thought was my 20th day, but it really was my 18th day and it was driving me crazy. So, if you plan to implement the signature on day 25, you should be happy to see the option then. When the time comes, you can go here to build your ticker.

Thanks so much wuv. I have loved your post and reading your story. I am a Mississippi gal myself - from the delta. You are a true inspiration on this website. I know that you have helped keep me motivated! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you Wuv- I have been wondering about that one myself! Does anyone here have experience making these with alternative products? Does it alter the taste (ie make a sweet shake taste more/less sweet)?

Wow INSPIRATION!!!!

I put EAS RTD in my "slushy magic" which is a "as seen on TV" gimmick i got at walmart. It works BUT I had to get a different shaker (the one that came with slushy magic leaked) I got a travel cup thing with a wide screw on lid also at Walmart (in housewares) for $1 that works great!
I drink a slushy EAS (no need for salt or any other ingredients) every day! It gets slushy enough to eat with a spoon and I think I burn the 100 cal. shaking that sucker!
Gotten me through this hot summer!

Here's my alternative recipe directions for making it same as below.

2 cups chopped rhubarb
1 packet stevia
a few shakes of pumpkin pie spice

Place in microwavable bowl and microwave until rhubarb falls apart. Let cool

Place in blender/magic bullet/ninja

Add flavored sugar free coffee syrup I use Cherry as much as you like sweet
Add 1/2 cup ice
Add 1 scoop ( or serving of your protein drink) Chocolate

Blend until smooth

Place in little ziplock bag

Put in big ziplock bag with ice and salt


Shake what your Mamma gave you........


Rinse little bag.... VERY IMPORTANT


Put in bowl.... like a soft serve. This usually yields about 2 cups ice cream so eat what you want if you need your 2 cups of veggies in. I put it in freezer for a few min to firm a bit more.......

And there you have Brandy's Cherry Garcia Ice Cream of sorts which tastes really good. :

This is awesome- you are solving two of my problems with one recipe! Really suffering from salad fatigue and I have a stalk of rhubarb in my fridge that I look at every day and think "when am I going to do something with that thing!"

Can't wait to try tonight! I have a package from Nashua of Cherry Chocolate that I did not like as a shake because I thought it was too sweet, let's see if this process improves my opinion of it.

My leader told me to put the RTD in the freezer and it will come out like soft serve. I did it, and will try it tonight!

ooo that sounds quick and easy! How did it turn out, Aimiloo?

OMG just tried this with dark chocolate pudding and used regular salt.

DELICIOUS!

I added a little WF chocolate syrup and a few drops of coconut extract. WOW was that a good breakfast!!
