A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!

How much of each ingredient
It’s written in the recipe card.
A you make without the Creami??
I’m not sure! I’ve only ever used the creami!
Can I add peanut butter before freeze or only after.
Adding it after allows it to have more of the swirl aspect that traditional chocolate peanut butter ice cream has!
What type of fiber powder do you use?
Is it necessary and why do you use it?
Thank you!
I have the one I use linked in the blog post! Not mandatory, just some added benefits if you’re in need of additional fiber in your diet which of course varies person to person!
