100 CALORIE CAKE BATTER ICE CREAM

yes, ladies and gentlemen, there is healthy and low calorie cake batter ice cream for all of us fitblrs to indulge in!

what you need -

• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• very scant 1/16 tsp salt (don’t omit)
• sweetener (such as 1 stevia packet or 1T sugar)
• 1/2 T sprinkles
• 1 cup almond milk (I used unsweetened Silk. See below for substitution notes.)
• If you want it to taste more like cake batter, add 1-2 T coconut butter (You can also add 1/4 tsp butter extract, which is surprisingly vegan)

What you do -

Mix the ingredients together in 1 or 2 shallow plastic containers. Freeze. (You can also use an ice cube tray.) Once frozen, pop the blocks out of the container (I thaw for 30 seconds in the microwave first) and blend in your Vita-Mix. (If you don’t have a vita-mix, you’ll probably have to thaw longer, but you can still get a yummy ice milk.) 

Tips -

This ice cream—when made with almond milk—has a very light texture (perfect for summer). For a creamier texture, try using at least 1/4c canned coconut milk (or maybe even creamer?). You can, of course, also sub other non-dairy milks for the almond.  But if you do this, play around with the amount of vanilla extract, sweetener, and add-ins. (For example, an already-sweetened milk will probably need less added sweetener.)

She went to the bathroom, filled the tub, and got undressed. The mirror misted over with condensation, and the smell of pine needles filled the air. She turned off the water, and the apartment suddenly seemed very quiet. Then she heard footsteps, and Simon’s voice through the half-open door. He said, I’ll just go downstairs for the bottle of wine. I thought you’d gone already, said Lara, and she poked her head through the crack, and he kissed her on the lips and tried to barge the door open, but she held it shut. They kissed again. See you soon, said Lara. It was odd, she still felt a little ashamed in front of him.

The 2012 Colour Run is currently touring through 20 U.S. cities. The only requirement is wearing a white shirt. Throughout the run, participants are doused in bright pigments (cornstarch that is 100% natural and safe). Each kilometer is focused on a specific color – 1k is yellow, 2k is blue, 3k is green, 4k is pink, and the 5k finish is a “Colour Extravaganza” where a rainbow of hues are thrown. 

Love him.
