Well now that it is summer its time to relax and take a few months to enjoy the nice weather and let it all hang out (not literally!)
Ice cream is a food that can kill us. Loaded with sugars, unhealthy fats and oils. This summer time "treat" should be avoided to maintain a healthy figure and waistline.
Not only that but ice-cream provides no nutritional value and does nothing to fuel workouts or provide any type of recovery from workouts.
What really bugs me is the insane amount of people lining up for this summer poison. There is nothing good about ice cream - yet people poison their bodies with it.
There are alternatives to ice-cream if you looking for a alternative. How about a ice-cold protein smoothie?
Here are some protein smoothies that take the place of ice-cream and are amazing for leaning out, building lean muscle tissue and losing body fat!

Protein Smoothie Recipe for Muscle Builders
If you are looking to build muscle, you have to have protein in your diet. There are many good sources of protein but if you do not have the time to cook and eat every time you need proteins, than protein smoothies are a great, easy source. Most protein smoothie recipes take a few minutes to get ingredients, add protein powder, and blend all together.
