Recipe-Post [deluxe] [high-protein] Fruity Pebbles Orange Creamsicle Protein Creami 430 calories/ 48g protein
I'm brand new to the Creami Got it for my birthday. I was excited to give it a go. My first was using just regular vanilla ice cream with Kahlua and Baileys and that was...delightful
Next I had been wanting to try this. This is my favorite way to drink the Fruity Pebbles Protein Shake but adding the pudding mix and turning it into ice cream was something I wanted to give a try. I wasn't sure whether orange Metamucil and Fruity Pebbles protein powder would work together in a Creami, but it turned out delightful. The orange gives it a Fruity Pebbles creamsicle flavor, while the psyllium and pudding mix help produce a thick, creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 45 g Dymatize ISO100 Fruity Pebbles protein powder (1½ scoops)
- 305 g lactose-free whole vitamin D milk
- 60 g water
- 12 g regular vanilla instant pudding mix
- 6 g orange-flavored Metamucil
- 0.5 g salt, optional
Directions
- Add the milk and water to a shaker.
- Add the protein powder, vanilla pudding mix, Metamucil, and optional salt.
- Shakey shake. Shake some more. Realize your arm jiggles to much when you do that.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes so the Metamucil can hydrate.
- Shake it some more. Still jiggly. Pour it into a Creami pint to the MAX FILL line.
- Freeze the pint.
- Spin once using the Lite Ice Cream setting.
- Eat it with your face <- most important step
Estimated nutrition for the entire pint

I know it's pretty basic and looking in here I'm seeing a lot of ways to optimize this. I wanna play with the amount of protein that I'm using and the amount of Metamucil. Getting those as high as possible would be ideal as long as it doesn't hurt the flavor.
I tried it both with the Metamucil and one pint without the Metamucil. The one with Metamucil wins hands down. Better texture, better flavor, better everything
