5/29/12 "Death By Burpees"

-Written by KC

Paleo Shave Ice Does Exist!

I'm pretty proud of myself I actually got away from the gym and got to the beach in Kona last weekend with my family. The kids of course wanted shave ice, bad! So we went to get some, and I was drinking my coconut water and said to myself what the heck i'll try it on plain shave ice. The guy at Scandinavian Shave ice gave me the ice for free, and then all I did was pour on the coconut water and BAM! Killer paleo shave ice. Anything is possible.
