Salad Tip!

Here's a quick tip for the next tip you are assembling a salad, because little tips here and there make all the difference in the kitchen.

 

Drizzle the dressing along the sides of the bowl, toss the greens, add toppings. By doing this the dressing completely coats the leafy greens and the toppings don't all fall to the bottom creating a much more enjoyable salad!

Grab & Go Smoothie Recipe

Have left over browning fruit? Don't throw it out, instead take it and remix it in to a fast, healthy snack.
As we all know produce is expensive and it would be a shame to let it go to waste. Here I had leftover fruit salad, with strawberries, mango's, pineapples, bananas. Its was delicious but its started to brown and become unsightly but I didn't want to just toss it. Light Bulb! Frozen smoothie cubes. What are those you ask, well just read on...

 

Here's what you'll need:

• Fruit of your choice, chopped and ready to blend - Perfect for using up what ever you have laying around that's the glory of this recipe.
• Milk of your choice, soy, almond, etc.-I used two percent.

Add ingredients to blender and puree. Because the fruit amount will differ, approximate a three to one ratio of fruit to milk.
Pour into clean ice cubes trays, cover, and let freeze.
Once frozen remove from trays and seal in a freezer bag until ready to use.
Blending the smoothies are totally up to personal preference or whatever you have laying around. Here are some possibilities that I like to use.
