Two Fruity Pebble patties are pressed together with homemade vanilla ice cream, making it a wonderful dessert to sink your teeth into. Cold, crunchy, and creamy, these sandwiches will become an absolute favorite. Makes: 4 ice cream sandwiches EditIngredients EditFor the Vanilla Ice Cream: [1] 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream 1 cup (240 ml) half-and-half cream ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (90 ml) white sugar EditFor the Fruity Pebble Patties: [2] 3 tablespoons (45 ml) butter 10 ounces (283 grams) bag marshmallows 6 cups (1440 ml) Fruity Pebbles cereal 1 pint (473 ml) vanilla ice cream EditSteps EditMaking the Ice Cream Beat together the half and half with the heavy cream. In a large bowl, beat the two ingredients together with a whisk until well combined. Pour in the sugar and vanilla extract. Mix once more with the whisk. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill. Let the mixture chill for about 3 hours until cold. The mixture can also stay longer if you wish to make the ice cream later. It can last up to 3 days covered in the fridge. [3] Pour the ice cream mixture into an ice cream machine. Make the ice cream according to the manufacturer's directions. Place the finished ice cream into a large, freezer-proof bowl. Freeze the ice cream for about 2-3 hours. Depending on your freezer's temperature, the ice cream may need to freeze longer, or it may freeze quicker on a shorter time limit. To keep the ice cream smooth and creamy, stir the mixture every 30 minutes with a spoon. EditMaking the Ice Cream Sandwiches Spray non-stick cooking spray or coat a small amount of melted butter over a baking sheet using a pastry brush.. Place a large saucepan on a stovetop preheated to low heat. Add the butter to the pan and mix slowly for 3-4 minutes. Continue mixing until the butter fully melts. Pour in the marshmallows and stir once more. Mix for about 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Remove from heat once the marshmallows have fully melted. Fold in the Fruity Pebbles and stir once more. The mixture should be incorporated properly and well-coated. Spread the Fruity Pebble mixture onto the baking sheet. Pat it down firmly with a spatula or another similar utensil, making it ½-inch thick. Leave it cool for about 20 minutes. Cut out circles from the layer. Using a cookie cutter, punch out 8 medium-sized circles from the Fruit Pebble layer. Set them aside. Depending on your cookie cutter size, you may get less or more Fruity Pebble patties. Make the ice cream sandwiches. Scoop and place vanilla ice cream onto a Fruity Pebble pattie. Close with another to create an ice cream sandwich. Repeat until there are no more patties. Serve. Place the ice cream sandwiches on a serving plate and eat right away. Enjoy! EditTips For a faster option, use store-bought vanilla ice cream instead of making it homemade. Store any leftover vanilla ice cream in an airtight container. It can last 2-3 months if stored properly. Different type of ice cream flavors can be used for these sandwiches. Try strawberry, cherry, or even Fruity Pebble ice cream. EditWarnings When melting the butter and marshmallows, always melt them on low heat. Cooking them on high heat will cause them to heat faster and burn.

How to Make Electrolyte Water Posted: 28 Jul 2018 05:00 PM PDT Give your body a nourishing homemade electrolyte water to help it balance out and recover after intense exercise. This elixir contains both salt and a little sugar, which will promote rehydration. It tastes great and is all natural unlike the artificial colors and flavors in commercial products. You may benefit more from this drink if you have been sweating and exerting yourself a great deal.[1] EditIngredients A 4 inch (10 cm) piece of ginger of fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons) of fresh lime juice (about 1-2 limes) of honey or agave nectar 1/8 tsp (5 g) of fine sea salt mineral or coconut water EditSteps EditPeeling and Grating the Ginger Cut your ginger into a 4 inch (10 cm) piece. Using a sharp knife, slice a piece of ginger of approximately off your larger ginger root. Cut off any small nubs with a paring knife so you have a relatively uniform piece.[2] Peel the skin from the ginger. Using a knife or a vegetable peeler, remove the tough outer skin of the ginger to reveal the light yellow heart inside. Alternatively, you can rake the tip of a spoon across the light brown exterior to remove the outer skin. Discard the exterior.[3] Finely grate the ginger. Use a microplane or a fine grater to grate all of your ginger into a mesh sieve set over a small bowl. Discard any extra fibrous pulp that builds up on the top of the grater.[4] Take care not to touch your eyes and nose while grating the ginger. It can be spicy! Wash your hands after grating the ginger. Press the grated ginger to make ginger juice. Use a flexible rubber spatula to press the grated ginger against the sieve over the bowl. Drops of ginger juice will flow into the bowl below. As the grated ginger in the sieve becomes drier, form your grated bits into a mound and then press them repeatedly to yield more juice.[5] This process should yield approximately of fresh ginger juice. Set this aside. If needed, cut and juice a little more ginger to yield the amount needed. EditSqueezing the Lemon and Lime Juices Roll your citrus fruits against the counter. Take a lemon or lime in your hand, and use the heel of your palm to apply pressure as your roll it across the counter. Repeat this roll with each piece of fruit you'll be using.[6] Rolling your citrus like this before squeezing helps extract the most juice. Cut your citrus in half crosswise. Use a sharp kitchen knife to cut the lemons and limes you'll be using in half. How much juice each piece of fruit produces will vary. It's best to have 2 of each in case you get a dry piece of produce.[7] When selecting lemons and limes at the store, look for fruit with a vibrant peel that feels heavy for its size. Squeeze your lemons over a strainer into a clean bowl. Use your hands or a citrus juicer to squeeze your halved lemons. Measure the juice produced using either a digital scale or a clean ¼-cup measure. Set that juice aside. Discard the squeezed lemons and the seeds in the strainer.[8] Set aside any leftover lemon juice for salad dressing or another use in the fridge. It will keep covered for up to 3 days.[9] Squeeze your limes into a clean bowl. Use your hands or a citrus juicer to extract the juice from your limes. Collect the juice in a clean bowl, and measure . Set that juice aside. Discard the squeezed lime halves.[10] EditMixing Your Water Combine your juices in a pitcher. Pour your measures of ginger, lemon, and lime juice into a clean pitcher or measuring cup.[11] Add of honey or agave nectar and 1/8 tsp (5 g) of fine sea salt. Measure of honey or agave nectar, whichever suits your taste, and add it to the pitcher. Measure 1/8 tsp (5 g) of fine sea salt, and do the same. Stir the mixture with a spoon for 10 seconds to help dissolve the sugars and salt.[12] Stir in of mineral or coconut water. Pour of plain mineral or coconut water to the pitcher, whichever you prefer. Coconut water is slightly sweet with natural electrolytes, such as potassium and magnesium.[13] Mineral water will yield a plainer taste and has fewer calories.[14] You can buy both mineral water and coconut water at your local grocery store or online. Serve your electrolyte water. Pour your electrolyte water into a glass over ice for a hydrating post-workout treat. This recipe creates two servings.[15] For an easy shortcut, make a base mixture of all your ingredients except the water up to 1 day ahead. Store it in the fridge. Your homemade electrolyte water will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. EditThings You'll Need Clean kitchen bowls Grater or microplane Spoon Strainer Rubber spatula Pitcher Knife EditTips For a fun twist or a party mocktail, try adding sparkling water to your electrolyte drink in place of mineral or coconut water. EditWarnings Unless you've been exerting yourself with vigorous activity, it's unlikely you need an electrolyte drink. High-sodium beverages can be harmful in large quantities.

How to Improve Circulation to Your Feet Posted: 28 Jul 2018 09:00 AM PDT If your feet always seem to be cold, or you experience regular pain or numbness, take steps to improve your blood flow. Massage, support socks, and stretching your feet can help circulate blood. It's also important to work with your doctor to manage any condition that's reducing your circulation. Treat those conditions while making healthy lifestyle changes. Losing weight, lowering high blood pressure or cholesterol, or treating your diabetes will improve circulation in your feet. EditSteps EditCaring for Your Feet Move your feet and toes during the day. Make a habit of wiggling your feet and toes whenever you can remember. Rotate and move your ankles around to improve blood flow in your feet. Try to do this for a few minutes at a time.[1] Moving your feet and toes during the day is especially important if you spend most of the day sitting. Stretch your feet to strengthen them. Stand so your feet are together and move one leg back. Lift the heel of that foot so you're on your toes. Stretch and hold the muscles on the bottom of that foot for 20 to 30 seconds. Do the stretch with the other foot.[2] Stretch your feet throughout the day or whenever you remember to. Massage your feet to stretch the muscles and improve blood flow. Get a professional massage that focuses on your feet, or massage your feet yourself. Sit comfortably and rub a little lotion or massage oil in your hand. Gently rub the bottoms of your feet, your toes, and your heels. Rub the muscles firmly and stretch the toes apart.[3] Massage your feet as often as you like. Consider buying foot massage devices or rollers that are designed to easily massage the muscles in your feet. Wear support socks. Ask your doctor if support hosiery would improve your circulation. Compression socks or stockings can improve the flow of blood from your feet throughout your body. To start wearing the socks, choose light support socks and ensure that they fit well without wrinkling.[4] Avoid using support socks if you have peripheral artery disease, since the socks can cut off your already reduced blood flow. If you have a sensory disorder like peripheral neuropathy, you may not be able to feel if the socks are too tight. EditGetting Medical Treatment Talk with your doctor about your blood circulation. Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician if you think you have poor circulation in your feet. You might notice:[5] Cold or numb feet Pale blue color on your feet Hair loss or dry, cracked skin on the feet Toenails that break or tear easily Feet that fall asleep easily Swollen feet[6] Manage the condition that's causing the poor circulation. Your doctor will examine your feet, talk with you about your symptoms, and order blood work. Since several things can reduce circulation in the feet, it's important to find the cause of your poor circulation. Reduced circulation can be caused by:[7] Diabetes High blood pressure or cholesterol Raynaud's disease Varicose veins Peripheral artery disease Heart disease[8] Take medication to treat the condition that's causing poor circulation. Work with the doctor to create a treatment plan that's specific to you. You'll probably be prescribed medication that will improve the flow of blood to your feet or treat your condition. For example, if you have peripheral artery disease, you'll need to take pain relievers and blood thinners to improve circulation.[9] If you have peripheral neuropathy, you may treat it with anticonvulsants, pain relievers, and antidepressants.[10] Treatment for Raynaud's disease includes calcium channel blockers and vasodilators that open blood vessels in your feet and legs.[11] Get your feet examined every time you visit the doctor. Your doctor should check the muscles of your feet and do tests for sensitivity if you've had poor circulation. Let your doctor know if the shape of your feet have changed or if you've lost feeling in your feet.[12] If you have diabetes and experience severe problems with circulation, your doctor or podiatrist should examine your feet every 3 to 6 months. EditMaking Lifestyle Changes Stop smoking cigarettes. Take steps to quit or reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke. Smoking has been shown to reduce circulation in your feet, so quitting is an effective way to make your feet feel better.[13] You can also talk with your doctor about smoking cessation aids. Find support groups that you can contact if you're struggling to quit. Improve your blood pressure and cholesterol. If you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, your blood vessels may become blocked or constricted. To improve blood flow to your feet, lower your high blood pressure or cholesterol by taking medications, exercising, and eating a healthy diet.[14] Your doctor may want to treat you for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) if you have poor circulation and high blood pressure or cholesterol. Manage your weight. If you're overweight, the excess weight can block or weaken the veins in your legs and feet. Exercise and eat a healthy diet in order to reach your healthy weight. Reducing the pressure on your heart and feet will improve your circulation.[15] Exercise your body throughout the week. Get blood flowing to your feet by being active and avoiding long periods of sitting. Try to exercise a few times a week. For example, you can walk, dance, do yoga, stretch, swim, or ride your bike.[16] If your feet hurt, you might want to avoid high-impact activities such as basketball that require you to jump and land on your feet. Raise your legs when you rest. When you do sit down or rest, prop your legs up with a cushions or pillows underneath them. Elevating your legs prevents blood from pooling and setting in your feet.[17] For a quick way to elevate your legs, lean back in a recliner and extend the leg rest.
