I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.
Recently I asked my son what his favorite treat was. The choices? Cookies, cake, or ice cream. I knew the answer.
When I traveled out of town last month and left him to ride his bicycle to camp each day, he took the pocket money I gave him and stopped at the gluten-free, vegan food cart for a scoop in a gluten-free waffle cone every single day on his afternoon travels back to the friend’s house where he was staying while I was away.
Summertime teenage freedom and a daily scoop of ice cream. There’s really nothing that can beat that.
Nothing, of course, except a digestive system that’s running in tip-top, mint condition, allowing you to enjoy your food and elevate your mood.
Food as unlikely as ice cream. (One of the first foods ever to give me some major digestive distress, and on my honeymoon, no less!)
Did you know that in Chinese medicine, summer is the month of the small intestine? It’s the perfect time to bring in some special foods that do double duty to nourish your insides while tickling your taste buds.
And, yes, it’s also a good time for ice cream. Can you guess where we’re going with this?
