A Healthy Dessert
Who doesn’t love a big bowl of ice cream to satisfy their sweet tooth every now and then? It’s a staple in most freezers, but not the healthiest choice for frequent eating.
Here’s a “nice” cream recipe you can make with ingredients you probably already have at home, and with no added sugar and just a couple ingredients, it’s a healthy, yet delicious, dessert option.
Ingredients:
• 2 large frozen bananas (cut into slices before freezing for easier blending)
• Splash of milk of choice
• Optional: additional mix-ins such as strawberries, cocoa powder, peanut butter, etc.
Instructions:
• Place everything into a high-speed blender and blend for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides a couple times.
• If it’s too thick, add more milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach a smooth, soft-serve consistency.
• Enjoy immediately or place in a container to freeze for 1-2 hours before scooping.
The Worst Exercises for Knee Pain
If you suffer from knee pain, but want to stay active, there are a few exercises you should avoid. These exercises are known to aggravate the knee joint, are often done incorrectly, and can cause unnecessary strain and inflammation: full-depth lunge, plyometrics (like box jumps), hurdler stretch, deep squats.
Instead, only lunge until your legs reach 90 degree angles, try step ups instead of jumps, do side-lying leg lifts, and partial, rather than deep, squats.
Cardiovascular exercise and strength training are important and can actually reduce your knee pain when done properly. Stick to low-impact cardio like walking, outdoors when possible, and make sure you stretch often.
