We get so many magazines sent to our clinic for patients to read but unfortunately most have at least 20 pages of drug and medication ads.

This may sound crazy, but I kid you not, between myself and staff we rip out those ads so our patients don’t get brain washed into thinking that is the answer to their health problems. After all, they are in our office for a natural approach so we need to exude that!

I tell you this, because in a Woman’s Day magazine issue that I was ripping through I saw a “quick cake” series. It  had pretty pictures that caught my eye but the ingredients were awful!

However, one of the “quick cakes”  had my heart at “Chocolate-Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake!” I am drooling over here too!   Believe it or not, their recipe had basic ingredients and I only needed to “healthify” it just a tad.  My makeover recipe is low in sugar compared to the original and has clean eating ingredients!  This means No GMO’s, pesticides, bad fats or fake and refined sugars!

Notes

The best rice crispy cereal out there is One Degree Organic Foods, Veganic Sprouted Brown Rice Crisps. The ingredients are clean, gmo free and real. Not to mention, their mission is one I want to stand behind and support! I also love the So Delicious brand of dairy free ice cream made with coconut milk. The mint chocolate chip is divine. It was helpful to scoop out the slightly thawed ice cream and blend it in the Vita mix to spread it with ease. This ice cream cake will stay in freezer up to 2 weeks wrapped tightly. You can freeze individual slices wrapped in wax paper and put in plastic bags for easy accessibility.
