Butter Pecan Ice Cream
Serves 1
For the Pecans:
* 2 Tbsps. roughly chopped pecans (19 g.)
* 1 tsp. butter (5 g.)
For the base:
* 1 1/2 c. unsweetened almond milk, plus 1 Tbsp. (370 ml.)
* 2 Tbsps. zero-calorie brown sugar substitute, such as Swerve Brown (24 g.)
* 30 g. butterscotch, caramel or vanilla protein powder
* 7 g. sugar-free, fat-free butterscotch instant pudding mix
Place a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pecans and cook, stirring constantly about 3-5 minutes. Add butter and continue to cook, stirring constantly, 2-5 minutes. Cool and store refrigerated in an air tight container until ready to mix in. In a blender, or directly in the Ninja Creami pint with an immersion blender; blend all of base ingredients except the 1 Tbsp. of milk, until smooth. Cover and freeze base for 8+ hours. *Place in Creami machine as directed with your model’s instructions. Process on “lite ice cream” mode. Using a butter knife, scrape the sides of the pint. Add remaining almond milk and process on “re-spin” mode. Add the pecans. Process on “mix-ins” setting.
*If the top of the ice cream has not frozen completely flat, allow to soften enough so that you can scrape the top with a spoon to make it flat. This will help to prevent damage to the blade of your Ninja Creami.
1 serving: the whole pint!

As if your body isn’t already dealing with enough hormonal chaos during this phase of life, adding the stress of extreme dieting and intense workouts can actually make things worse! 
If you are tired & exhausted from trying to figure this out, reach out to us for help.
For most of you, we will literally give you your life back;
*More food
*Long term fat loss
This is the incredible transformation of FFC coaching client, Tina. In her 50s and dealing with peri-menopausal symptoms, Tina learned that “no food is bad” and discovered she could eat more than 800-900 calories a day while staying lean.
Tina used to follow a restrictive 800-900 calorie diet that was unsustainable. Now, she enjoys foods like fruit and potatoes without fear, and they’ve helped her reach her goals. This simple, sustainable plan has transformed her life.
Recently, Tina wore a dress she hadn’t fit into for years, feeling more confident and comfortable than ever. Interestingly, she weighs more now than when she bought it, proving it’s not about the number on the scale. Her stamina has increased, hormonal issues are more manageable, emotions are more stable, and sleep has improved.
Tina’s journey shows the power of patience, building habits, and staying consistent. Trusting the process has brought her results more satisfying than she ever imagined.
Achieving your fitness goals is as much about your mindset as it is about your physical efforts. It’s easy to get caught up in the numbers and immediate results, but true transformation requires a long-term perspective. 
*Mindset Matters:* Cultivate a mindset of resilience and positivity. Understand that setbacks are part of the process and that each small step forward is progress, even if it doesn’t reflect on the scale right away. Your mental strength will carry you through the toughest days.
*Patience is Power:* Progress isn’t always linear. Some days you might feel like you’re not moving forward at all, but remember that patience is your greatest ally. Trust that consistent effort will lead to lasting results.
*Stay Consistent:* Consistency trumps perfection. Show up for yourself every day, even when motivation wanes. It’s the everyday habits that build up over time to create real change.
So, stay focused, trust the process, and keep pushing forward. Celebrate every small victory, and remember that your journey is unique to you. You’ve got this!
