Hi-Ya !
Did you know that today is National Ice Cream Day ?Yep, In 1984 President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream month AND the third Sunday of the month to be National Ice Cream Day.
The temperatures in Charlotte will rise close to 100 degrees today and throughout the week, so how fitting that today is a holiday that you could get some free ice cream from your neighborhood establishments and shops.
You know I like to give alternatives, right ?
So.....If the heat is keeping you hostage or you just prefer not to indulge in a bowl of ice cream then you can make your own healthy yummy frozen treat in the comfort of your air-conditioned home.

Instructions
I blended the ingredients in two separate whirls in my Nutri-Bullet blender as I was attempting to go for a two-tone color block smoothie, but it didn't work out as plan, so I gotta a swirly type mixture going on. .... Try, try, try again :)
