Fruit Kabobs

This week I taught over 20 preschoolers how to make a yummy, healthy, high-fiber
snack, fruit kabobs.
But this recipe is great for adults too – the high-fiber fruit and seeds are easy to incorporate
for great digestion.
This hands on class offered the kids lots of different techniques that they
enjoyed. Measuring, mixing, skewering, dipping and rolling! And
they loved the food, too!

Dairy Free Aioli Recipe

Just because you can’t stomach dairy doesn’t mean you have to give up the good stuff.

I recently discovered that raw green beans, picked fresh from the vine from one of my favorite local farms, are ridiculously yummy. Why have I been ruining them by cooking them?

Though I’m not one to guild the lily, I was inspired to create a dairy free aioli dip for these perfectly sweet and crunchy green beans.

So here’s the  recipe:

Dairy Free Aioli (serves 2, or 1 very hungry vegan)

2 tablespoons Follow Your Heart Vegenaise

1 teaspoon freshly smashed garlic paste

pinch sea salt

1/8 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

1/8 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1. Mix all together with a fork or spatula.

2. Dip freshly washed and dried green beans.

3. Eat.

4. Moan with delight.
