Happy National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day! This February holiday is proof that ice cream is perfect at any time of the year, and at any time of the day. Whip out those scoops (before noon), we certainly won’t judge!
Did you know that eating ice cream for breakfast is actually good for you? According to a Japanese scientist, eating ice-cold food immediately after waking up shocks our brains into an active state, which increases our alertness. See mom, it’s healthy! A no brainer to us.
