This is yummy. It reminds me of a Creamsicle. This makes 2 tall glasses. You could cut the carbs in half by only drinking 1 glass. I strongly suggest that you do use the xanthan gum in this recipe. It thickens it by suspending the crushed ice and lots of air bubbles. Without xanthan gum, you'll end up with more like a slushy where the ice ends up in a big icy chunk in the glass.

Ingredients

• 1 scoop whey protein powder, vanilla flavor (1/3 cup) *
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 1/2 cups cold water
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream
• 1/4 cup Da Vinci sugar free syrup, vanilla or orange flavor
• 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar free orange gelatin powder
• 1/4 cup granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
• Ice cubes

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together the protein powder and xanthan gum. Pour the water, cream, syrup, extract, gelatin and sweetener into a blender. Blend for a few seconds. Add the protein powder and blend briefly. With the blender on the highest speed, start feeding ice cubes, one at a time, through the top of the blender until the drink is very thick. Adjust sweetener, if necessary.
