The Health Benefits of Milkshakes!

Spring’s just around the corner, and you’ve probably started craving that warm, sunny ice cream weather. Unfortunately, for most people around the United States, it’s still a bit too chilly to get out your bathing suits and umbrella-topped drinks. But don’t worry; here’s an excuse to eat some ice cream for the sake of your health… The sun is a major source of vitamin D during the summertime. But how can you get enough of this important vitamin when you’re still in hibernation mode? That’s where the milkshake comes in! Milk is a great source of vitamin D; so are fish, eggs and mushrooms, but those wouldn’t make tasty additions to any milkshake I’ve ever heard of, so let’s just stick to milk! You don’t have to rely on a supplemental pill to work this sunny vitamin into your diet. Enjoy a chocolaty cheat treat every once in a while. When you’re trying to behave and eat a healthy diet, try smoothies. Blending a banana, a tablespoon of peanut butter and a cup of vitamin D-packed milk will create a particularly tasty treat that’s full of vitamins!   What are some of your favorite foods and recipes?
