DIY 2 Ingredient Homemade Ice Pack

Whether you are hiiting or lifting, sometimes an injury happens unexpectedly. This is when an ice pack comes in handy; however, most of us do not keep one in our homes because, well, we just do not think about it... until the boo-boo's happen. Icing is great for injuries.

Remember the RICE technique?

• R – REST 
• I – ICE
• C- Compression
• E- Elevation

Here is how to make your own homemade ice pack without any mess or fuss.

Ingredients

• 1 large ziplock freezer bag
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup rubbing alcohol
• food coloring or glitter (optional-just for fun, especially if you have kids)

Directions

1. Fill the large ziplock bag with the water and alcohol.
2. Freeze overnight or for at least 5 hours. Make sure the bag is laying down when you freeze it!
3. Use when boo-boo's occur!
