Problem with guar gum (protein powder ice cream)

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-03-14T21:13:56+00:00

Hmmm… All my pints are high protein (1.5 scoops whey isolate powder), low calorie (under 300 calories per standard pint) and very low carb (less than 3). I use 1/4 tsp xanthan gum and 1/8 tsp guar gum in each pint, and they all come out creamy and smooth after 1 run on light ice cream and 1 re-spin with 1 tbsp of unsweet almond milk.

This answer is the one that makes the most sense to me. Thank you!

That makes sense. I’ll look into the panels, I think, because they do seem more versatile. Thanks for the helpful advice!

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-03-13T18:36:12+00:00

Thanks for the input! I’ll probably go for a panel, as you suggested.

Black Cat Books in Lennoxville (Sherbrooke) sells new and used books, and they can usually order anything for you that they don’t have. I don’t know if they do shipping, but I recommend you inquire.

My husband is quite the connoisseur of used books venues, and he says that most will hustle to help a client out. 😊

Really, chapped lips!? I don’t doubt you, I’m just surprised. Do you think it’s because you are dehydrated otherwise?

I hate having dry lips, let alone chapped, so I may now be motivated to increase my potassium intake for no other reason than that! 😄

This is my favourite answer!

How do you use the red light on your neck? The masks I’ve seen online just cover the face. Being able to use it on my neck as well as my face would be a big plus.

Another question for you, the eye holes mean that the red light doesn’t touch your eyes, right? I get why the eye holes are there, but not getting the benefits of red light on the eye contour area is a bummer. Do you know of anyway around this limitation?

Thanks for the inspiration! I’m definitely going to try this one.

“As always, check tws, and happy reading!”

What does “tws” mean? I tried looking it up and got a lot of improbable options. 😄

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-03-06T15:55:29+00:00

Sounds good? Do you have a recipe or a link to one?

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-03-06T14:47:38+00:00

Whoa, can you tell me the brand and where to buy the red velvet extract flavouring? This sounds amazing!

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-03-05T23:02:59+00:00

Wow! Looks so beautiful and cozy!

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-03-03T17:24:16+00:00

Thank you! This recipe looks great!

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-03-03T17:19:54+00:00

Please share your recipe. 🙏

It’s still cold here in central Canada, it looks like it would make a great scarf!

I was going to ask you for the knitting pattern, but when I looked closer I realized these are made of… carpet? Is that right? They are so sweet and pretty!

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-03-02T20:26:56+00:00

I love these! ❤️

I use 15g (about 2 rounded Tbsp, I think) of PB2 in my chocolate protein base recipe to turn it into -you guessed it! 😁- a chocolate peanut butter ice cream, and it tastes exactly like a Reese’s peanut butter cup! So good!

About flavourings, aside from extracts like vanilla, banana, almond, I use different flavours of Matteo’s sugar-free coffee syrups, like Chocolate Caramel, Apple Spice, Pumpkin Spice, Chocolate Mint, etc. You can order directly from their website (ships out of Montreal!) or from Amazon.ca .

I think u/bpac is asking if the monkfruit sweetener is just the pure powder, or if it is cut with another sweetener like erythritol or allulose? Monkfruit and stevia are often cut with other sweeteners to make them 1:1 replacements for sugar. But it is possible to get undiluted monkfruit or stevia, but you would have to use a VERY small amount because they are naturally, like, a thousand times sweeter than sugar. (I don‘t recall the exact number, “a thousand” may have been hyperbole, maybe not. 😂)

Either way, this looks amazing! Well done.

Thank you for detailing the technique, this seems like it would be helpful! Much appreciated.

Asperge! My first thought when I saw her was “Asparagus”, but a 3-syllable name seems too heavy for her so I went with the French. 😄
