Just in time for the 4th!

I'm giving myself the day off tomorrow (hee hee) so here's my new favorite ice cream find that is so perfect for this weekend. It's called Red, White and no more Blues from Dreyers - IT'S FABULOUS! Vanilla ice cream with strawberry and blueberry ribbons - delicious and nutritious! It's one of their 1/2 fat versions, so 1/2 cup has 110 calories and only 3 grams of fat. One of my friends is famous for saying that's how much you eat while you're scooping it in the bowl, so no cheating...AND, there is a study from the Journal of Clinical Nutrition that ice cream is the best thing to eat two hours after a workout - it raises insulin levels, which slows the breakdown of muscle-building protein. Wow, another perfect food! Happy Fourth of July - Melissa
