I am combining two days into one because my hubby and kids have been home so I have been focusing on the family. I have done pretty well for the most part but today I did cheat and have half a cup of ice cream. Real wonderful creamy ice cream. This came after the failed attempt of using non sweetened Greek yogurt in my Dessert Bullet the night before.
It was pretty pathetic. Thursday I bought non sweetened Greek Oikos yogurt. I separated it into ice cube trays and put it in the freezer. I was really excited to try making my fake ice cream. So when it was time I ground up my cashews in the Nutri Bullet and chopped up my square of dark chocolate. Unfortunately when I ran the ingredients they came out less than stellar. I should have added the banana with the yogurt, split it fifty fifty. But I didn't and the result was awful. I was pretty devastated.
Fast forward to tonight and let's just say I was a little on the tired side of things not tasting as I had expected. I guess I have decided that once every now and then a cheat will be required for the simple reason of I just can't handle it anymore. I made sure to choose an ice cream with as little ingredients as possible.
I thought I might feel upset with myself but I didn't. This wasn't an emotional treat for me, unless I consider exhausting all substitutions as emotional in which case I guess it was. It really came down to the fact that I wanted ice cream and that nothing I had tried was helping ease that craving. Now that I have satisfied it, I don't think I will be struggling as much.
I hope you all are enjoying your weekend.
Progress: Still doing well with avoiding grain but sugar won this round
Notes: Research something that is actually palatable to replace ice cream
