Who doesn't LOVE ice cream? I am 99% sure everyone in the world loves a deliciously creamy, rich tasting ice cream. My latest recipe tastes exactly like real ice cream but it is without the added sugar, carbs and fat. If you are like me and you count your macros every day then this recipe is made for you! One serving of this has 150 calories, 6 g carbs/2 g of fat and 25 grams of protein! If you make this recipe with just the black coffee it has 130 calories/5 g carbs/ 1 g of fat and 25 g of protein. The coconut creamer makes it extra creamy. It is up to you!

I have to be honest I got the idea for this recipe from Ben Bergeron. I attended his Competitor's Training Camp in April(worth every penny...so fun) and he suggested I have this at night to help build muscle while I am sleeping. He blends it with water but I found adding coffee or coconut milk makes it taste better. Casein has the ability to provide your bloodstream with a slow and steady flow of amino acids that could last for hours. Muscles may not be built overnight, but drinking a glass of casein-rich milk is the ideal protein to consume right before bed, as it’ll be more helpful throughout the night than any other protein option. I have a sensitive stomach so I make this mid-afternoon to help me get that extra protein in my body.

Today is "Weightlifting Wednesday" at CrossFit Magnitude. It is one of my favorite classes. The class is all Olympic lifts focusing on form. I have to admit taking this class at 5:15 am is not ideal but I am so busy with clients on Wednesday it is the only time I can go. Suck it up, right? I feel soooo incredibly lucky that my body is healthy and strong and I can do what I do each day. As Ben Bergeron says, "I get to go to the gym, I get to pick my kids up from school. I don't have to." Feeling blessed..
