Cacao Pistachio Florentine and Mint Ice Cream Sandwich..YUM!

Cacao Pistachio Florentine and Mint Ice Cream Sandwich

Serves 4

For the Ice Cream:   2 Cups Cashews 1/2 Cup Coconut Butter/Oil 1/4 Cup Agave Nectar 1 Vanilla Pod 1 Cup Almond Milk* 1 Tsp Lemon Juice 1/2 Cup tightly-packed Fresh Mint Leaves   Step 1: Scrape the inside of the vanilla pod, and discard the outer part. Alternatively, you can leave the outer part in water to infuse, making ‘vanilla water’. Step 2: Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth. Step 3: Pour mixture into 4, round, equal-sized moulds and place in the freezer to set. I used metal rings with plastic film stretched over the base of them. For the Florentines: 1/2 Cup Cashews 3T cacao powder 1/4c melted cacao butter 1/2t lemon juice 3T agave nectar 1/4c almond milk 1/4c cacao nibs 1/2c pistachio nuts, roughly chopped * The almond milk you need for this recipe can be be made by blending 1c soaked almonds in 2c of pure water. You should then strain the mixture through a nut milk bag, or a sieve if you don’t have a nut milk bag. Step 1: Blend all ingredients, with the exception of the cacao nibs and pistachio nuts, in a high speed blender until smooth. Step 2: Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in the cacao nibs and pistachios. Step 3: Use a spoon to form 8 Florentines (circles as big as the ice cream moulds you used) on some non-stick paper and place in the freezer to set. If you haven’t got enough room in your freezer to lay them out flat, you can put them in the fridge first, until they are firm enough to stack up in the freezer. Step 4: Remove the ice cream and Florentines from the freezer 1 – 2 hours before serving. Step 5: Assemble the sandwiches with one Florentine on the bottom, and one on the top, of the ice cream that you removed from the moulds. Step 6: Decorate the outside of the mint ice cream with some more chopped pistachio nuts. ref;http://gliving.com/mint-ice-cream-sandwhiches/

Tank top arm workout :)

Good Morning :)

So today is cardio and upper body day! I found this workout on the Internet and decided to give it a shot with some tweaks to make it more challenging. How can you make a workout harder?!? Turn it into a circuit with weights :) I started off with 30 minutes of interval training on the StairMaster then repeated this workout routine 4 times with 10 second rest between each routine. I used weights where I was able to complete the reps but that made it very challenging to complete. Lets say bye bye arm jiggle and hello muscles and tank tops!

Have a great day everyone!
