I miss ice Cream!
I am over 10 years out and have not been able to tolerate protein drinks, alot of meats, but when it is hot out I would like something close to ice cream. Any suggestions if there are any substitutes for ice cream that taste good. I see people say protein drin**** cream. What protein drinks have you been able to tolerate!
You can make ice cream yourself by running a protein shake through an ice cream machine! :)

As Gwen said just make your own. I could not imagine going through the weight loss surgery journey without my daily fix of protein ice cream. I use a machine that has its own refrigeration system, so I do not have to freeze an ice ring.
My protein ice cream is ready in about 20 minutes and I can make as many batches as I want. Buy a machine that only makes a small amount at a time. I always add my protein shake, sugar-free syrups, and sugar-free Cool Whip. The sugar-free Cool Whip makes the ice cream very creamy. An 8 ounce shake gives about 16 ounces of ice cream.
Mine is the Lello Jr 4070. It is not available on Amazon today, but I see some on eBay. This turned out to the ideal size for my protein shakes.

There are some SF storebought brands... but I make it at home... I know all the ingredients and way more protein: https://www.pinterest.com/eggface/protein-ice-cream/
She is still young post op.. She does not know about protein ice cream we can make and eat.
Btw: I add some salt to mine, plus I add unflavored gelatin - (disoveled completely in liquid). Really makes nice consistency... Plus gelatin is really good for our nails, hair and joins.
I add app 1tbs of gelatin for every 2-3 cups of "prepared" ice cream mixture..(I 'll have 2 cups of ice cream mix - and I make 1/2 -1 cup strong gelatin (disolve gelatin in water) mixture. Taste and adjust as needed..
