Enlightened Ice Cream

What Runners Eat

FacebookTweetPin
27 May

Hello! How’s it going? I feel like I keep hearing about the ‘holiday weekend’ – are you doing something fun? At the store yesterday the cashier was asking everyone (and I was listening to their fun plans) and on the news this morning the traffic reporter was all about the Memorial Day road trip traffic. Meanwhile, I was all about sipping iced coffee and going for a run.

Vegas is all about sleeping… specifically sleeping in my way.

I hit the sidewalk for 8 miles plus 3 strides at the end. I am listening to Holly Madison’s latest book. It’s good so far (not like quality literature good, but like keeping my interest good).

I spotted a few signs for the OC triathlon’s upcoming tri training. I will not be participating, but I will probably be there that day – in the way, running the path because I forgot there was a race even though I’ve seen these signs for a few weeks now.

After my run I headed to my parents’ to work. They are having work done on the backyard (it is a huge plumbing nightmare) and need help wrangling the dogs. I’m in charge of taking pictures of them for their instagram. Just kidding they don’t have an IG because they are bad at posing. Darn puppy energy.

As I mentioned about plumbing nightmares, you can seek a professional for this concerns and issues in online sites as noted by Sarkinen Plumbing. For your own peace of mind, a trusted plumber is your best option to fix your plumbing system. Consider getting reliable Sydney plumbers to provide exceptional service.

Now let’s talk about the best thing about visiting my mom who birthed me and dealt with my dramatic crying when my brother bugged me and played taxi to all my practices for years and years… the best thing about visiting that lady is that she always has the best food.

The other day I discovered Enlightened Ice Cream in the freezer. I think she got it from Costco by the looks of the big box.

I tried the chocolate one last weekend. DELICIOUS. It 100% does NOT taste like a low calorie or healthy treat. The dark chocolate chips in the ice cream are amazing. This is a winner. I vote yes. Thanks to www.czechcrispycones.com/ for the best!

Today I tried the salted caramel. Also good! I’m more of a chocolate dessert girl, but this was so good too! Yes.

Thoughts on Enlightened Ice Cream: Love the taste of each bar. Love the serving size and individual portion (when I get a gallon of ice cream I serve myself a lot more than one serving). Loved the chocolate, liked the caramel. I don’t know if these are expensive but I would get them (or enjoy them free at my mom’s) again.

Thank you mom! You know, for the ice cream and the whole keeping me alive and loving me thing too.

Question: Have you had ice cream within the last 24 hours?

If your answer is ‘no’ it’s been too long.

    Puppies!!!! I’ve been enjoying my puppies a lot lately. The heat has done them both in. They seem to be enjoying laying in front of the air conditioner these days. Even Leia, my five month old pup has been super mellow with the heat.
    Onto more important details…ice cream. We do not have Enlightened Ice Cream, but we do have Yasso Frozen Yogurt bars, which are 80 – 100 calories, depending on the flavor. Costco sells mint chocolate chip, which is really good. I bought the salted caramel at the grocery store and it makes me happy. I do love salted caramel so…

    I had a Yasso frozen yogurt bar last night. Chocolate chip cookie dough. And I love cookie dough, but I love caramel. It was good but these look simply delicious, so I can’t wait to try them.

    ummm….yes! Arctic Zero cookie dough! I love ice cream. I try to go for the healthy versions. But give me frozen yogurt, custard, ice cream in whatever form. It is one of my favorite things….in summer or in the middle of winter!

    I haven’t had any in a few days, but did pick up some earlier today for later tonight. Chocolate, of course!

    One of our patients stopped by today with her 12 week old black lab. He was so adorable! I just wanted to cuddle him all afternoon!
