I scream. You scream. We all scream for Nice Cream!

Summer is nearly here. That means that ice cream will be everywhere. If that’s too tempting for you, try this trick I like to call Nice Cream. Make your daily dose of dense nutrition with a ton of ice.

2 cups ice – blend before adding other ingredients
1 scoop chocolate Shakeology
½ frozen banana
1 cup fresh zucchini
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1 cup coconut milk or coconut creamer

Optional Toppings: 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite delectable toppings: nuts, granola, coconut, seeds, chocolate chips, cocoa nibs, fresh fruit.  

You might need to blend, scrape, blend, scrape. You want your Nice Cream to be really thick, so avoid adding too much liquid. Put in a big bowl. If you really want to turn it into a special treat – add some optional toppings

NOTE: This has more portions or accessories than your average Shakeology, so still keep it as a treat instead of an everyday occurrence. I find it works to help curb my cravings for a pint of Talenti or Ben & Jerry’s. I feel like I’m enjoying a treat without harming my gut or triggering those sugar addictions.

It's Not Easy, But It's Simple

People make things so hard. They complicate everything. Then when they want a change, they want instant gratification. They want a magic pill. Guess what? There is no magic pill. It turns out you got to do the work.

But I'm here to tell you that it's as simple as diet and exercise (or as I prefer to think of it: nutrition and movement).

I don't spend hours each day working out, sweating, running and lifting weights. I don't obsess about every little thing I have to eat. I have my at-home workout videos I follow (I'm doing a program now that is a mere 30-minutes a day) and a really well-rounded whole food-based nutrition plan with tons of nutrition and REAL food (not food product) that I eat. Water, protein, vegetables, healthy carbs, fruit, and healthy fats. Plus I get my daily dose of dense nutrition. That's all there is to it.

I do the same habits every single day.
It's not easy, but it's simple!
