What!!?? A Milk shake recipe on a fitness site!!??

Let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment shall we? From time to time we all have a craving for a treat. In fact if we give ourselves treats in a controlled manner, they can actually be quite good for us since it can prevent binge eating later.

So when you’re going to treat yourself, do it wisely. Below is a recipe for a mint shake which contains fresh fruit and a little extra protein.

1 ½ teaspoons sugar
Crushed ice
