nutritious junk

You scream, I scream, we all scream for…hopefully you know the end. But there’s one thing we don’t scream for, and that’s for calories. It seemed that all was lost trying to find low calorie and tasty ice cream that was a little more filling. That’s when I was introduced to Carb a Whey. Low cal soft serve in like a zillion different flavors. Its only 6 calories per ounce, made with whey protein and has an amazing creamy, smooth texture (but has to be thawed out for just a little bit if you stock pile them in your freezer like I do.) After spending my time at Penguins Yogurt in LA trying their flavors and making special outings just to go there and get a cup of Carb a Whey to enjoy while walking around gossiping, I looked on Carb a Whey’s website and found out that through Soft Serve Depot I was actually able to order my own mix and flavors to make my own at home. A little while later I found out that Hungry Waif had ordered from there and told me we should get some more to try I called them up and was lucky enough to be able to procure some samples for free. So very exciting. We received an assortment of flavors including mint chocolate, chocolate peanut butter (our personal favorite), toffee and more. Soft Serve Depot sends the base, which is a powder in either neutral or chocolate, along with a plastic bottles of flavoring. Hungry Waif and I mixed up some different combos in her ice cream maker and had a blast doing it. Unlike at Penguins it takes a little longer for it to come out of the machine but it has the exact same smooth, creamy consistency and rich flavorful taste. Because flavors are always changing at Yogurt shops, by buying it we were able to keep the flavors we love on hand to make whenever we wanted them. It’s also a fun, relaxing project with the ultimate payout. Its kind of like a slot machine but without the coins…those probably wouldn’t taste as good as this stuff.
