In defense of visiting ice cream stands on vacation 🍦

The other day I was at an event, and somebody mentioned, you’re always posting about getting ice cream on Facebook. Maybe that’s true, ice cream is something I really enjoy especially on vacation as a treat.

These days, I really try hard to avoid eating refined grains and food with added sugars. But like anything, it’s good to be a bit easier on yourself, occasionally indulge when you are out an about in a controlled fashion.

I don’t go to ice cream stands all that much, in part because I rarely drive places except on vacation or traveling. I don’t get ice cream or treats at home, though I do like a good apple or other banana or frozen fruit with non-fat plain Greek yogurt. But sometimes a treat is a treat.
