Cooling Down With A Classic

It’s about a hundred degrees in the New York and Jersey City area right now. Boon and I stepped out of the office for lunch at the cafe across the street and afterwards, we needed a way to battle the hot and humid weather. The prescription? The Mister Softee Ice Cream Truck of course. Armed with vanilla soft serve ice cream cones, we showed the weather who’s boss by ripping into the frozen delights. It was five minutes of ice cream bliss.

Boon delightfully awaits the passing of the soft serve from vendor to customer.

Ah, perfect for the 100 degree weather.

Pre-workout Nourishment

For the past few nights, I’ve been trying out a new pre-workout snack. My usual consists of organic low-fat yogurt and two slices of lightly buttered whole wheat toast. It was getting boring and it just didn’t do it for me anymore. My new pre-workout snack is more of a dessert, but it’s a healthy dessert. It’s easy and simple. I placed a scoop of vanilla fudge soy ice cream on a multi-grain waffle and I added blackberries on the side. While I don’t think it has improved the performance of my workouts, it’s definitely a great pick-me-up before a grueling workout.

Oh, The Little Things We Look Forward To After A Long Day

With work and school assignments, the past week was long and tiring, hence the lack of posts. There was one thing that I looked forward to after work, and I couldn’t wait to get home. It was ice cream, well, vanilla and green tea ice cream to be exact. It gave me the short moment of bliss that I so needed after a long day. For those five minutes, I seemed to forget about everything. While five minutes might not sound long, it was enough time to clear out my mind. Sometimes, all it takes is a little bit of ice cream. Yes, it’s that simple.

SO Delicious Non Dairy Ice Cream!

You can breathe a sigh of relief if you can’t or don’t eat dairy or cheese products. Turtle Mountain’s SO Delicious Dairy Free Ice Cream has come to the rescue! Made with soymilk and other organic ingredients, the ice cream is creamy and retains that great ice cream flavor. It sure comes close to tasting like milk-based ice cream and that’s good enough for me. I’ve only had the creamy vanilla flavor so far, but I’ll expand to the other flavors as soon as I’m finished with the current container. Check out the website for reseller locations.
