Oreo Wannabe Blizzard

I just realized this morning that I had not posted this recipe here! I have it posted over on www.leanbodiesfitness.com but thought I would share it on my blog as well. This is probably one of my favorite post workout treats. Especially in the summer!

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For ICE CREAM!!

It starts in the kitchen, and it doesn't take me 5 hours to prep my food. Today I decided to time how long it took me to... read more 7 comments
