Picture it: It’s 3 p.m. You’re at work. This is the time of day you hit a lull. Your energy has dipped, your patience checked out 20 minutes ago.

(Obligatory disclaimer: I am NOT “encouraging” anyone to eat ice cream. But recognizing that some of you do, I feel it’s good to know there are options that can work in a well balanced diet.) So the other day I had an intense craving for chocolate ice cream. This has been a tenuous thing. Most no-sugar added or sugar-free …
