This is it boys.
I've been a lifter for nearly 2 years of my life. (I started early, thank god, at the ripe age of 14). When my freshman year of high-school started, I had no friends, absolutely no social skills, weighed maybe 100 pounds, and hated everybody. I can honestly say I was such a weirdo because I had been playing video games 8 hours a day since I was 9. I had only quit the addiction half-way through my freshman year, after coming across the Bold-and-Determined blog.
A year and a half later: I have an awesome girlfriend, the respect of many of my peers, an improved physique, intentionally forced myself out of my introverted shell and into the extroverted world, and I refuse to ever waste one more minute of my life on video games. Now on to the thread.
About 1.5 months ago, sometime in July or maybe June, I had just finished a killer workout and was blending the daily protein shake. However, due to my clumsiness, I had poured a little too much frozen fruit into the mix. So when the shake was finished, it was more like an "ice cream" than a protein shake. (Needless to say it was the worst-tasting ice-cream ever.)
Then it hit me: protein ice cream! I figured that there had to be a recipe online for making some good tasting ice-cream with whey protein. After all, they're both dairy products. After some time searching, I found nothing. This got me fired up and I decided to wing it. I went through a typical vanilla ice-cream recipe, and just added some of Walmarts whey protein into the mix. (This is seriously a bad idea.) It tasted awful. However, this motivated me even more because I knew that the more difficult this was, the bigger the opportunity!
I worked from that day and every day after to formulate my recipe. I can't tell you the recipe for obvious reasons, but just know that implementing whey protein in ice-cream is NOT easy. I also read the Lean Startup and recently began crafting my business model. The ultimate goal is for my physical product to:
Throughout the month and a half I've been working on this, I've learned so many valuable lessons that will help me become the successful entrepreneur I want to be in the future.
Am I afraid someone on here is going to steal my idea? Yes, but I know that the person who is likely to steal my idea is also LEAST LIKELY to successfully execute it. If you plan on stealing my idea, go ahead, but refer to this quote:

- Taste like classic, unhealthy ice-cream
- Have a dense amount of protein
- Have reduced sugar/fats
