It's All Over for Peppermint Patty but get excited if your a bit nutty!

So if you're a caramel lover or a bit nutty or you love a good cheesecake (there's something for everyone in this flavour!), you should enjoy the newly released Flavour of the Month for April at Baskin-Robbins in Australia.

'Caramel Praline Cheesecake'

Why we should feel good about Ice Cream!

Ice cream: some scream for it, and some of us run screaming from it. No other food recalls childhood, long summer vacations, and the just reward for cleaning one’s plate quite like ice cream.

As adults, we worry about the health and ecological impacts of dairy. We worry about soy. We worry about sugar. We worry about highly processed foods. We worry about fats, calories, points, carbs, glycemic indexes, GMOs and the carbon footprint of our diet.

Is it possible to simply enjoy ice cream again?

Dairy is by nature’s design a “comfort food.” Mother’s milk, whether from a human mother or bovine mother, contains the protein casein, which breaks down into opiates in your digestive tract. This unique effect of milk drives the survival instinct, since it encourages infants to keep eating, growing, and gaining weight. Opiates in milk also create a relaxed state and help the bonding process because babies learn to associate “mommy” and “eating” with pleasure. No wonder we’re so hooked on dairy! It’s a drug, but at least it’s a natural high. Ice cream just makes us feel good, and there’s nothing bad about feeling good.
