A healthier version of, a little of what I fancied. 01/04/2012

_Every one seems to love ice cream.
I made myself some mini healthy ingredient, (no sugar or artificial sweetener gunk) ice cream treats this morning and have them in the freezer for when an ice cream craving hits again.

I got over my ice cream craving last night by eating some roasted almonds.

I just don't like eating processed junk food though I do love ice cream.
With a little prior preparation and portion control I can have my ice cream and eat it too. I will eat mine with crushed fresh roasted almonds on nuts on top. If you wanted a lower fat version get some recipes that use gelatine and water and skim milk powder. Most true ice cream is a double wiping process. You do not need an ice cream maker, just a freezer and whip the mixture twice when it is semi frozen to aerate it then freeze again.  Forget recipes, just follow basic guidelines and choose your own preferred ingredients. Believe me it works.

All I did was to freeze pure cream in 1 teaspoon size dollops which I can eat how I like, sprinkled with cinnamon or spice or plain. I could have mixed pure vanilla essence or cocoa powder into them or mashed fruit, the choice is endless. The benefit is no highly refined carbohydrates to spike then crash your sugar levels if you are susceptible to fluctuating sugar levels. It fits in with a low to moderately low carb eating plan and there are no artificial ingredients.

No it isn't low fat. I actually do not eat low fat, I try to eat low saturated fats hence my freezing this ice cream into teaspoonful size treats not cup quantities.  A little of what I fancy without triggering my appetite as high sugar and high starch foods do.

I do not exclude any sort of food from my diet, I simply strive to eat healthy and balanced meals and consider myself fortunate not to have a sweet tooth however I know this is because I choose to eat nothing sweeter than natural friut - that definitely includes not touching those over sweet to my taste artificially sweetened so called diet and weight watcher (I refuse to call them food) junk.
