Skip the mucus-forming dairy ice cream and the non-fat artificial-sugar-laden frozen yogurtand check out my all natural, nutrient-rich version.

No no, not THAT kind of fast food :-) I'm talking about food that takes little to no prep time, little to no cooking time, and goes from Ingredients to Tasty Meal in under 10 minutes.
