Ice cream in Protein Shakes?

[bamaster]

Ok, I've been finding many references to adding ice cream to post-workout shakes. I know I'm a little naive, but I always thought ice cream was bad for you.

Share your brand/flavor of ice cream. And why do you add it?

Hey bamaster,
I sometimes add ice cream to my protein shakess ONLY if it is post-workout. This can make the drink taste much better, provides additional protein, and also provides additional sugar.
Although this may not be the best source of sugar, adding fat free ice cream to a post workout protein drink is very beneficial.

Depending on the flavour of the protein drink, you can mix and match ice cream flavours!

I think so anyway!

Why not add ice cream - you wanna get big then add whatever you like - probably better to go for the lower fat versions. Most ice cream doesn't contain actual cream

i have an nlarge shake post-w. but an hour later i have some quick oats with choc. protein powder, some raisins, a banana, some milk, and some Dreyers Double Fudge Brownie! yeeeeaaa baaaaby!!

Ice cream is probably one of the best junkfoods out there. It's not all bad, providing you use lowfat brands, or all-natural flavors. I use to put ice cream in my weight gainer pre, and post-workout. It's all up to what you feel, I guess.

Kind of like a reward for hard work. Bryers makes an Orange Sherbet that is low fat and great tasting. This isn't a good choice for a protein shake but it's a good snack. Only 120 cals per serving and 1g of Sat Fat. Even got 1g of protein in it.

i just wanted to jump in here

I just did this tonight for the first time and it was damn delicious

My shake includes

1 scoop of Gold Standard Whey Protein Isolate (Double Rich Chocolate)
3 cups Kroger Party Pail Cookies & Cream Ice Cream
8 oz Vitamin D Milk

Near as i can figure the rough stats on this shake in a 20 oz sport bottle are

Protein= 44 Grams
Carbs= 123 Grams
Calories= 1110
Fat= 96 Grams

IT may not be the healthiest thing in the world but with all this meat and potatoes and liver, and fish and kidney beans and sardines, and bean chips and jerky, and eggs and Canadian bacon on and on and on

It was a nice treat that ill be repeating often, and you could not taste the isolate at all

I'm a newb so chime in if I'm crazy, but experimenting with these shakes has been fun and with a 10 pound tub i got plenty of isolate to do it with

Since this has moved its way to the top:

I’d say if Ice Cream (or anything else) fits into your nutritional goals have at it. I live most the year with pretty low bf but still have sweet treats all the time.
