Morning Mocha Smoothie
Start your day off on the right foot with a DIY ‘frappuccino’ style sip. Tip: If your blender is not strong enough to handle chopping ice – try using frozen banana chunks in place of ice. Click here for the recipe.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Ball
Perfect for (dare I say it): a sweet after-school snack (served with plenty of cut up fruit). Or, roll into small bite size balls for a sweet indulgence on-the-go.

Layered Tex Mex Dip
A perfect excuse to use up leftover grilled vegetables and/or meats. I often add finely chopped chicken and steak to this layered dip. If you’re not a fan of cilantro – use your favourite herb of choice: basil, parsley, oregano and even chopped fresh mint. Yum.
