I Love Ice Cream!


By Linda Wagner
Can you eat ice cream and still lose weight??



With this recipe you can!!

I love ice cream, I do. Especially when the weather gets warm, there’s nothing like some smooth and creamy ice cream to cool you down! So, when I get the itch for some ice cream with out the guilt, I reach for this no fail recipe.
 


You’ll need:

  •     2 ripe bananas that have been peeled and then frozen
  •     2Tbs Chocolate Powder
  •     splash of vanilla extract
  •     teeny tiniest pinch of sea salt – and I mean tiny!
  •     enough water to blend
  •     stevia to taste (optional)
  •     sprig of mint (optional)

Mix all ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender until smooth.  This will be the consistency of soft serve. If you’d like it to be a little more dense just put the blended mixture in the freezer for about 10 mins before serving.



Kids and adults both go crazy for this recipe!! You can make a million variations by adding frozen berries, using almond milk or coconut water instead of plain water, adding almond butter, or even adding chocolate chips – the possibilities are truly endless!!

So next time you got the itch for some ice cream, try this guilt free recipe and enjoy with the whole family! This also makes a great pre or post workout treat!


 
A quick note about Stevia, most of them are gross and taste like aspartame – yuck! I like NuNaturals brand Alcohol Free Liquid Stevia and NuNaturals Vanilla Stevia with Singing Dog Vanilla Extract, it’s the best tasting. I always order my NuNaturals stevia through iherb.com they have the absolute BEST prices!! Be sure to use my discount codeWAG472 to get $5 off your first order!

  • Look Good, Feel GoodFall is finally here! Time to dig up those scarves, boots, and cardigans buried deep inside your closet. In terms of fashion, this is definitely my favorite time of year – I especially love the bold pops of color that are trending this season. And of course, the layers! But unfortunately, being bundled up in sweaters and coats doesn’t quite give me the motivation to work out. I won’t be sporting a bikini any time soon anyways so what’s the point, right? Wrong! We’re all aiming for that perfect beach body once Spring rolls along, so why not start working for it now? Getting toned and fit is a gradual process—although I’m sure we all wish it would happen overnight. Swimsuit season will be coming around the corner before you know it, so save yourself from the intense dieting and exercise the week before spring break and start now!

The white straps create a great contrast against the navy and the sweetheart neckline sets an irresistible modern twist on this maillot. To cover up, try Nautica's Under the Sea Tunic. The white and navy stripe print of the tunic perfectly compliments the solid suit, creating a chic sailor look.
