Food Hack! How to Turn Ice Cream into Bread

Ranking All The McDonald's McFlurry Flavors

Oreo McFlurry: 9/10

Crunch McFlurry: 5/10

Butterfinger McFlurry: 4/10

Heath McFlurry: 3/10

If I had to say one thing about the Heath-flavored McFlurry, it’d be “meh.” Like I’ve mentioned already, I’m always left wishing for more mix-ins, volume-wise. The Heath pieces in this McDonald’s McFlurry are few and far between, and it really makes me feel like I’m missing something with each scoop.

M&Ms McFlurry: 2/10

More Cool McDonald's McFlurry Flavors Around The World

Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry (Ireland)

I am truly fuming with jealousy that McDonald’s Ireland gets to have the Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry. They’re my #1 Easter candy, and so addictive that I could eat a whole bag. When you mix that with soft serve, how could it be bad?! My only concern is, like with the M&Ms, the candies would freeze up and get hard, making it difficult to eat.

Siakam Swirl McFlurry (Canada)

The Siakam Swirl McFlurry, available in Canada (minus Quebec), blends smooth ice cream with hot chocolate fudge and red Smarties, a hard-shelled chocolate candy. I love that the hot fudge is included in this flavor – I think it’d add an interesting flavor effect with the mix-ins.

Daim McFlurry (Denmark)

This McFlurry flavor from Denmark looks so good! The Daim McFlurry fuses Daim candies (chocolate and almond) with the classic ice cream base. The McDonald’s Denmark site says that it’s made with fresh milk, which makes a huge difference in taste and texture. The smoother ice cream looks like it pairs exceptionally well with the crunchy candy.

Stroopwafel McFlurry (Netherlands)

It’s only right that McDonald’s Netherlands has a Stroopwafel McFlurry. I need to find acopycat recipe, ASAP! The stickiness of the wafers and caramel would be divine.

Pinguinos McFlurry (Mexico)

Mexican McDonald’s must be so scrumptious, because they have a Pinguinos McFlurry! If you’ve never had Pinguinos, they’re basically the same thing as Hostess Cupcakes. I can only imagine how yummy the cakey, sugary pastry would meld with ice cream. Delish!

Pistachio McFlurry (Italy)

I am concerningly obsessed with pistachio-flavored anything, and I think this Pistachio McFlurry from McDonald’s Italy belongs in my belly right this instant. It looks like it has some crunchy pistachio bits mixed in, with a green-ish pistachio syrup drizzled on top. OMG.

How to Make Snow Ice Cream

Similar to Reese’s chocolatey, coffee-filled “snow salt Chocochinos,” our snow ice cream recipe builds its sweet base using actual snowfall. But, before you dive in to your nearest pile of untouched snow, make sure you follow these safety tips:

• Use clean snow only. Don’t eat snow that’s been plowed – it’s likely to be contaminated with asphalt, snow-melting salts, and dirt that can harm you when ingested.
• If you use pesticides or fertilizers on your lawn, you might consider finding fresh snow elsewhere to avoid harmful contaminants.

The best way to collect snow for making snow ice cream is in a clean bowl as it falls. From there, you can start mixing in milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and your fave sea salt!

Ingredients for Snow Ice Cream

• 1 cup of milk (any kind will work)
• 1/3 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 pinch fine sea salt
• 8 cups of clean snow

Directions for Snow Ice Cream

1. Begin by placing a large bowl in the freezer before you begin. Cold bowls help keep your snow ice cream from melting too fast.
2. Once you've measured out all of your sugar, vanilla extract, salt and milk, take your large bowl out of the freezer.
3. In the bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, vanilla and salt until well combined.
4. Next, head outside and scoop up some clean, fresh snow. (Or, if you've already let it collect in the bowl, bring it inside and add to the large bowl.)
5. Immediately after adding the snow with the other ingredients, stir until it is incorporated and looks as close to regular ice cream as possible.
6. Time to eat! Dive in right away and enjoy your sweet treat.

What is snow ice cream made of?

Snow ice cream is typically made of fresh, clean snow, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt.

Is it safe to eat snow ice cream?

Yes, snow ice cream is safe to eat as long as you use snow that hasn't been disturbed (plowed, melted, driven on, touched) in any way.

Here's How Often You Should Cut Your Hair, According To Professionals

I’ll admit it — it had been eight months since my last haircut. My hair had lost its shape, my layers were nowhere to be found, and my ends were begging for mercy. Life got busy over the last few months and I was neglecting my haircare like never before.

My hairdresser could immediately see that I was beyond due for a cut and said I needed to get more taken off than I was hoping. I was definitely disappointed — I'd been working on growing out my hair for a while now, and it just felt like my hard work had completely gone to waste. He explained that getting consistent haircuts is the key to growing out healthy and strong hair, rather than letting it grow and grow until it eventually breaks. So let's dig into the top three things you can do to avoid this scenario!

1. Just Get The Dang Haircut

Also avoiding a haircut like I was? You might want to schedule one at your nearest salon. Like my stylist said, when you wait too long between trims like I did, you risk your hair becoming heavy, dull, and lifeless. When the hair is dry or even dead, it’s nearly impossible for it to hold a curl or style, essentially collapsing on you and taking on more and more heat damage all the while. I know the pain of spending time on a blowout only for it to fall minutes later — it’s the worst.

According to Jack, getting a haircut every 10-12 weeks is the best time frame or your ends will pay the price. Between blow-drying, curling, straightening, sun, and weather, our ends get dry and start to break without the proper care. Getting consistent haircuts allows hair to bounce back, shine, and perform the way we want in a healthy way.

2. Leave-In Conditioners Are Your Friend

His top piece of advice to keep your hair looking and feeling hydrated between trims? Invest in conditioning treatments. Jack swears by the Olaplex conditioning system, specifically the No 3 Hair Perfector. Made with patented OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology™, this conditioning treatment repairs and prevents damage in as little as three minutes. No 3 promises to reduce breakage and visibly strengthen hair, so it’s the perfect assistance to keep ends fresh between cuts. Another conditioning treatments I’ve used and loved for years is the Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask, which is designed to restore moisture, elasticity, and shine to dry hair.

3. Switch Up Your Shampoos

Switching shampoos frequently is a pretty hot tip that I honestly hadn't thought of. Our hair gets used to the same products and grows tired of them, resulting in lackluster locks. Jack’s advice is to switch brands after finishing every bottle of shampoo to bring life back to your hair. Have two brands that you’re loyal to? Even switching back and forth between them after every bottle should make a big difference in your hair. I’m a huge fan of the R+Co Dallas Biotin Thickening Shampoo, which makes my hair look thick and full, as well as the Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo, which is so hydrating and gives so much shine.

In the end, navigating your back-and-forth relationship with haircuts often feels like a rollercoaster ride between wanting that fresh look and cringing at the receipt. Luckily, by using conditioning treatments and switching up your products,, you can keep your locks healthy, shiny, and full of life between trims. But take a newly learned lesson out of my book: don't let your ends pay the price for procrastination and just book the haircut.
