*Slim & Sexy by Memorial Day* *Egg Cream Challenge*

[bekki1]

I made 2 peach sf jello egg creams :each with Isopure Zero Carb vanilla protein powder, 2 oz heavy cream and 2 eggs. I did not add the splenda nor the SF Torani (although I bet it would rock with SF french vanilla or SF coconit). I made them at 6:30pm and put them in the fridge. I have been having a rumbly tummy after drinking the coffee ones although I dig cold coffee, so I am excited to try the jello one. So many varieties, you could mix flavors too. I will drink my first one tomorrow about 6am. I hope it thickens up. Any one leave them over night yet? OurLuvFrom ABove, about your question on making them ahead, Do you have a magic Bullet? I make mine in there the night before, then when I am ready to drink one I give it a quick shake and its ready to go.

[bekki1]

it is now 7:58 and I just checked my jello egg cream. Very thick almost pudding texture. I will let you all know how it was in the afternoon when I get home from work. I think I will bring a spoon with me, this could be good or very bad. Any one else try it refridged over night?

[MelissaBee]

For the jello, I use half of a packet from the small (4 serving box). I actually measured this out so that I was sure to be getting the same "flavor power" LOL in both shakes that come from that box. Half a packet is 1.5 teaspoons of powder.

I dissolve it in half a cup of boiling water and then add enough ice to push it up over the 1 cup mark (I use a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup). Then, once it is cold and starts to thicken, I remove the rest of the ice and add it to the egg mixture and whirl in the Bullet.

[MelissaBee]

Also, I know this is waaayyyyy too carby for an every day type of thing, but a shake made with a tablespoon of sugar free instant banana pudding mix, eggs and almond milk (and maybe a little cream or half and half) is to die for. Seriously. Good for a treat or dessert (plus you get the benefit of some good protein)!

RESULTS?
I've been in a six week stall - if you call going up and down the same three pounds a stall. Right now I'm following Induction and tracking EVERYTHING I eat for a week. If this doesn't get the scale moving or unearth some sneaky stalling food I've been eating I want to try doing the egg cream for brekky & lunch. Maybe THAT will work. What results has everyone had their first week? And has anyone sucessfully broken a stall or plateau with egg cream? Thanks!

[bekki1]

Ok - so I made the jello egg cream last night and put it in containers for today. Not very good after it sits. Almost needed a spoon but to runny but to thick for a straw. the taste was good, I made peach. I think I need to make it and drink it with the jello ones. Anyone else make the jello ones and let them sit?

[Peony]

The other day I mentioned that my mother used to make Spanish Cream and I remember it being a gelatin dessert that separated with the gelled portion on the bottom and a more foamy mixture on top. I did a search and found this:

Spanish cream
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
2/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups milk
3 egg, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
1Mix 1/3 cup sugar and gelatin in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water.
2Slowly stir in milk and stir until sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved.
3Beat the egg yolks until light then blend a bit of the hot mixture into it.
4Add the egg yolk mixture to the gelatin mixture and cook, stirring constantly until thickened.
5Mix in vanilla and then chill until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spool.
6Beat eggs whites until they form soft peaks, gradually beat in the remaining 1/3 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.
7Fold the custard mixture into the eggs whites and spoon into 6 goblets and chill until firm.
8If desired, top with fresh fruit

I would think we could addapt this recipe using Splenda and heavy cream/water instead of the milk. I'll try it.

I'm here! I had my diet root beer egg cream this morning!!

[jenks]

I have been lurking, but got to say I love the orange jello egg cream. I tried to make my own jello with the kool aid and gelatin, I used 1 pkg of gelatin and 1 package of koolaid and it was a liitle strong. If you make you own how do you do it?

[DeliGirl]

Hello everyone. Wow, what a lot of reading to get through LOL
All the recipes look amazing and I had my first egg cream this morning. It was a little hard to get past the idea that I was drinking raw eggs. It tasted really good. I think I may want to pick up a flat of diet crush flavours and try it that way too. MMmm I can just imagine it with Grape.

I don't know if I'll be drinking them every day, but it was a nice change.

[OurLuvsFromAbove]

ooh diet crush grape? I may have to look for that, thats a really good idea!

jenks, I use sugar free jello, so I cant really answer your question. Hopefully someone else will.
IMO i'd say use a level teaspoon of the gelitan, and of the koolaid

[chewiegand]

I'm here too. It was a very rough week last week. I had my yummy hazelnut cream today. I'm on my second quart of water--goal of 4 for today--had too much salt yesterday.

Anyways--anyone try the new pepsi flavor--caramel creme? It is unbelievably good. I drank 3 cans yesterday--I know not the most healthy but so very delicious. I hope it stays around. It would make an awesome egg cream. I think I'll have that for my lunch shake. Yummo.

[Ilpirata]

Good Morning,
SO I have been drinking the eggcreams for the past three days and guess what - it broke my six week stall. I swear! I have been bouncing between 217 and 220 for the last SIX WEEKS. Yesterday when I weighed - 216. YAY! A NEW FRIKKING NUMBER!!!!! I'm beside myself and comitted to drinking these all week - they're so great for the workweek and keep me good and full. I've been making mine with coffee and davinci's peppermint patty flavor and 1TBS of coconut oil. Today for lunch I may try one with Hansen's Diet Black Cherry Soda. Waddya thinK?

In Atkins 72 there's a recipe for a chocolate Egg Cream. 6 oz diet Chocolate Soda, 1 egg, 1 oz heavy cream = 1.2 gr. of carbs Have a great Friday everyone.

I'm just learning about all this but came to your post and the funny thing is this morning I was thinking about using some diet chocolate soda I had in the pantry. I just made one with the diet choc. soda but used half and half (what I had) and some Kahlua da vinci. Yum!
I can't wait to see how I do with these things. There seems to be so many choices and ways to make them. I've only gotten to page two of this thread but will be reading it all. Thanks to Andrea that posted the link in my thread asking questions about Egg Creams!

[monique]

The people who are saying they are using eggs are you using the whole egg or egg whites? Do you find it better to use a blender or a hand mixer?

monique Use the whole egg - you can't digest the raw egg white without the yolk. Use a small blender if you have one or whisk it up.

Thank you. I will try tonight.

[OurLuvsFromAbove]

I use my hand mixer, I dont have a blender or bullet. and they come out fine.
and I also use the whole egg. I tried just using the yolk and it doesnt fill me as well

[monique]

so a couple eggs, cream, sweetner and coffee? It sounds easy

[bridgetjones]

i used just the yolk but guess i will use the whole one from tomorrow on, i dont like to throw food and iam never gonne eat that much egg white during the day!

my mix always contains:
2 eggs
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 spoon whey protein (chocolate)
1 teaspoon coconutoil
some almond oil
seeds
berries

its like a yammi chocolate shake and i add sometimes other flavors such as chait tea, cinamon or ginger.

[Ilpirata]

FYI Here's My Recipe:

12 oz coffeee (ISH)
2 raw eggs
2 TBS DaVinci's Peppermint Patty Flavor
1 TBS Coconut Oil (melted)
2 TBS (1 FL Oz) Heavy Cream

I use a blender.

If I want it like a shake, I like to use the blender so I can add ice.

[OurLuvsFromAbove]

I can't wait to get a bullet, i'm going to be the shake making master! lolol

[monique]

I have a hand blender but I am not sure that will work. I don't want to spend $60 on the MB if I have to I will. That thing never goes on sell.

[Warrior Woman]

I am goin gto try this. I need something that I can put together easily- and doubling the batch will make B&L-

I am in the middle of a break form a 6 year relationship. It is a good thing though~ What I have learned, is that I use food for stress. I have gained weight and need now to get back into fighting weight~

I just want not to focus on food. I dont want to do all the planning, snacking, cutting, preparing-- any of it. I want to reconnect with my body. I want to ONLY eat when I am hungry and no other time.

Plus I am so busy with work, the end of a relationship and my daughter. If I would/could survive on those 2 shakes a day that would be awesome! (I do plan on eating dinner though~) It owuld one thing less to think about~

So tomorrow starts the path to reconnecting with myself/body
