Cuisinart Yogurt Maker - Turn Protein Shakes into Frozen Yogurt!!!

I am one month out and just couldn't take the protein shakes any longer but knew that I needed the protein. I purchased a Cuisinart Yogurt Maker and turned my protein shakes into frozen yogurt. For added taste, I add some Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup (zero fat, calories, carbs - tastes yummy). I now look forward to my "protein shake" every morning. Also, I will make a double or triple batch, freeze it in serving sizes and let it defrost slightly when I'm ready to eat it. Try it, I promise it will make all the difference in the world!!! Good luck!!!

Sounds great. I will have to try. Thanks for the suggestion.

I bought one too but I haven't used it yet. I need to give it a try one if these days.

I have one and it makes great ice cream...I will definately give this a try. I'm getting a little tired of the shakes too.

Thanks. I am tired of a lot of the things I can eat on mushie phase as well.
I would not have thought of this.

Thank you

I have an ice cream maker at home, Im going to see if I can make frozen yogurt in it. if not I saw some on line reasanable.

Do you have any specific recipes for us to try?

I made one of eggfaces' protein ice cream, but i just dont think i got the ingredients whipped up enough before adding to the ice cream maker. I also found that the small batch was kinda hard to do, alot of scrapping to get it off the sides and the mixing gear. Thinking it would work better with a larger batch.

Hi all,
actually, if you have a regular cuisinart you can use that too, you don't have to buy a separate appliance.
Here's how--freeze or buy frozen fruit. Bananas are a good one to start with. Just cut a few bananas into chunks, and freeze.
When they are solid, put them in your cuisinart with nonfat plain yogurt (one reg. 6 ounce container) and any protein powder and non sugar flavoring(I use Torani brand)Don't add milk or other liquid. Be sure you have the sharp blade in place ensure smooth whipping. Turn it on and let 'er rip! In a minute or two you will have awesome frozen yogurt! The frozen fruit makes the whole thing like frozen smooth frozen yogurt you would buy at a frozen yogurt place.

If you don't have any such appliances, and don't want to buy any, do this---go to a frozen yogurt place, and see if they have non fat, no sugar frozen yogurt. Two such places exist in my small town. Get four or so ounces in a cup, and bring your unsweetened, flavorless protein powder, and sprinkle in a couple of tablespoons. I can't taste the protein, and it doesn't change the consistency. Makes a super treat when you are desperate, and you can go somewhere with family or friends and feel like a regular human!!

thanks for that, think I will buy a yoghurt maker with my next shopping. Good on you. :)

Are you using the premixed protein drinks (like Premier) or are you using dry powder and mixing with soy milk or something like that? Your idea sounds great.

This was the recipe I tried - the chocolate peanut butter. Mine just was too dense, though, it didn't fluff up enough.

I just ordered me a cuisinart yogart maker on ebay and can't wait to receive it! I need your recipe!! I want to make some, I miss ice cream so much!

Here is another way to make ice cream in just a blender and using an ice cube tray. She uses only milk but you should be able to just add the protein too - may have to use more milk or something. Havent tried it yet but sounds awesome...
