dessert smoothie :)

Skip the high calorie, high fat ice cream and make a sweet, creamy, all-natural smoothie instead. Blend together a frozen banana, 1 tbsp. of almond butter and 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk. The texture of the banana makes this smoothie resemble a milk shake. The total calorie count is just 225 calories and 7 g of heart-healthy unsaturated fats.

Starving after you workout ?

Eating after you workout is actually the best time to eat because your body will immediately use the calories you just ate to repair & recovery, and will not be turned into fat. 

After you workout the best thing to have is a liquid meal like a protein shake or gatorade.

Whatever you do, don’t starve yourself after your workout. Take advantage of the metabolic and hormonal changes that happen post workout to refuel and enjoy a good meal.

milkmadeicecream: flavor of the day: Watermelon Snowsalted watermelon ice cream  Have you ever seen old snow? You know - it’s summer and you’re on a hike in high altitude and you come across lingering snow from the past winter. It has a pinkish/reddish tint to it. If you get a bit closer to it, you can smell a slight scent of watermelon. Well, wouldn’t you know, that’s called watermelon snow! Seriously, it’s a thing. And an awesome name for a watermelon ‘scream. Ours, though, isn’t just a pint of old snow. It’s a salted watermelon ice cream, made with fresh local sugar baby watermelons and sea salt from Maine.
