I love that recipe - I love ice cream too and it's one of my weaknesses besides pizza - so this smoothie recipe looks yummy. If you are into books I also have Jorge Cruz - his new cookbook and he has great recipes in there too. Your plan sounds a lot like mine - it was more of a lifestyle change for me. Trade Joes and Whole Foods is the best for finding great low-cal, low sugar and low carb foods. Thanks for sharing that one. Maybe we both can lose that last 5 pounds.
