As promised, we have a healthy ice cream idea for you [pause of shock].  That's right, healthy!  We've teamed up with our good friend Libby at Studio Sculpt Pilates to bring you two fantastic post-workout milkshakes.  That's right, a little Breyers ice cream after your next workout, what could be better?!? 

A recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition tells us that ice cream can promote a surge in insulin which will lessen post-workout protein breakdown.  Read more: http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/gain_ten_pounds_of_muscle/Make_One_Snack_Ice_Cream.php#ixzz2cWV1pUsY

Without further ado, here are two of Libby's original Green Milkshake recipes.  Simply throw all of the ingredients in your blender and voila, you've got the perfect post-workout milkshake!

Antioxidant Overload!
3/4 cup Breyers No Sugar Added Vanilla

1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup pineapple
1 cup kale or spinach
3/4 cup of water

-or-

Post Workout Recovery Shake
2 Tbs Peanut Butter
1 Banana
2 Tbs of Ground Flax Seeds
3/4 cup of water

Blend and Enjoy!  And don't forget to check out the Pilates tips Libby shared with us back in June.
