Homemade Nice-Cream

Homemade Nice-Cream

To say that Nice-Cream is a family favorite in our home would be a MASSIVE understatement. It has become our permanent replacement for Ice Cream, since we are 90% dairy free, and this recipe is delicious and super simple to make. DISCLAIMER… I must also share that I typically am not a huge fan of bananas or banana flavored anything. But I LOVE this recipe!

Hitting the Reset: My Ultimate Reset Recap

I Finished the RESET!!!  … but really this was just the next step in my journey!  HERE ARE MY RESET GAINS & how it all unfolded.   Although this transformation may not seem “drastic”, I assure you from the inside out IT WAS. If I could take a pic of how I feel inside it would be awesome-tastic 💃🏼🙌🏼☺️😎💞☀️🤗 I’ve been a believer in this program for years, having done it with my mom before and seeing first hand her cholesterol drop 55 points from 255 to 195 and completely off cholesterol meds.  But if I’m being honest, I really only committed…
