3/19/13 PALEO POTLUCK THIS THURSDAY NIGHT 7:30PM!
-Written by KC
Never sacrifice who you are, just because someone has a problem with it.
Come Celebrate March 2012 On-Ramp graduates!
You're Invited! Paleo Potluck Party at the box!
Bring a Paleo dish & recipe to share!
Door PRIZES!
Thursday Night March 21st will be the final class for our March On-Ramp participants! It has become tradition to celebrate the graduating class of On-Rampers with a paleo potluck and I have decided to open up the Potluck to ALL athletes at our box. I think it might be a great way to integrate the new athletes with some of our existing athletes, and a time to 'mingle' and get to know each other better. One of the greatest parts of CrossFit, and our gym especially, is the community we have and I am hoping that by opening up the Paleo Potluck on a monthly basis it will help us to continue to cultivate the wonderful community we already have.
Please join us Thursday night March 21st, at 7:30pm and bring a paleo dish to share! Come early if you want to cheer on the On-Rampers as they perform the Baseline WOD for the second time to see if they perform better than 3 weeks ago!
AllStar will provide the paper goods, utensils and water. The On-Ramp athletes will likely be a little nervous if they are still finishing up their workout (the Baseline) so be sure to show them how we do it at AllStar and CHEER CHEER, CHEER THEM ON!
Hope to see you Thursday night!
XOXO

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 4 hours
Total time: 4 hours 10 mins
Serves: 4
This ice cream gets its creaminess, along with it’s pale green color, from ripe avocados– but no one will be able to tell once they taste it!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- ½ cup almond milk (homemade recipe here)
- 3 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract*
- 2 oz. dark chocolate, chopped or shaved
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients, except the chocolate, into a high-powered blender, and blend until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the blender container, as necessary.
- Be sure to taste-test at this point, and make any necessary adjustments, then transfer to a freezer-safe container.
- Fold in your dark chocolate chunks, if desired, or simply sprinkle them on before serving.
- Allow to set in the freezer for 4-6 hours. (There’s nothing wrong with enjoying chilled mint-chocolate pudding, if you’re impatient, though!)
- Garnish with extra chocolate, then enjoy this cold, creamy treat immediately!
Notes
*Peppermint extracts may vary by brand, so be sure to start off with a smaller amount of extract and adjust to your taste.
