Cucumbers with Almond Butter
Slice a cucumber into discs, on a slight slant for more surface area, about 3-4 slices per inch.Spread almond butter on top. It's that easy. Kids will gobble this one as fast as you can make it.
Celery and Dates
Cut celery stalks into one-inch slices. Put half of a medjool date into the curve of the celery and serve em up.Know that even if your child doesn't typically eat celery, s/he will probably ask for seconds and thirds of this treat.
Banana Ice Cream
Peel and freeze a few ripe bananas. Once frozen, put them into your food processor, using the "S" blade.Turn on the machine and walk away. Come back one minute later to perfect banana ice cream. No kidding.
Top with raisins, berries, chopped nuts, or just enjoy it as is. Not quite finger food, but for healthy ice cream, who cares?
Tomato Mango Soup
It just is not possible to mess up this soup. Any ratio of mango and tomato will work just fine.Blend or mix the two ingredients in any way you wish; coarse, fine, pureed smooth, or chunky.
Start with any variety of tomato that you enjoy, and a non-stringy variety of mango, such as Keitt or Kent.
Blend in roughly equal quantities to your desired coarseness and serve. Lime goes well as a garnish.
Tomato Celery Soup
Blend 2 or 3 large tomatoes.Remove the leaves from 6-9 stalks of celery and cut the stalks into 1/4" pieces.
Put celery in the food processor, using the "S" blade, until it is quite fine.
Mix the celery and tomato in a bowl, and serve at room temperature or cooler.
Banana/Celery Smoothie
Don't knock this one till you've tried it. Most folks are very surprised to find out how good this smoothie tastes, and how satisfying it really is.Blend one celery stalk with every 4-6 bananas you use in your smoothie. Be sure your bananas are fully ripe. Add water according to your preference.
Feel free to use one frozen banana in the mix. Many people find they actually prefer their smoothie just a bit on the cool side.
MangOJ Smoothie
For every 2-3 oranges you juice, add the fruit (not the skin or the seed) of one mango. Blend and serve.You can add flavors to this mix such as fresh mint, a small amount of vanilla, or many others in order to please your palate.
Eastern Summer Salad
Cut 4 tomatoes into bite-size pieces.Cut 2 cucumbers into smaller pieces.
Blend 6 stalks of celery with 1 ounce of tahini (crushed sesame seed, preferably raw.)
Place cut ingredients in a bowl and pour the blended mixture over the top. Mix thoroughly and serve.

Fruit Feast

as featured in FoodnSport newsletter August 3, 2011
Fruit consumption is just plain easy. It is generally easy to harvest—either growing on vines that are easily reached or falling from trees when ripe. It requires no preparation and can often be eaten with bare hands. Its texture requires minimal chewing, making it easy to eat by the very young and the very old alike.
We associate things that are easy to do with luxury, because they allow us to relax and enjoy life. Most people’s idea of basking in luxury includes eating perfectly ripe fruit. People consider fruit a reward, and the alternate usage of the word applies quite well: the fruits of our labor. Having an abundance of fresh ripe fruit available to eat when hungry is a glorious experience that everyone deserves.So take advantage of the summer season and pamper yourself with an indulgence that nourishes rather than impairs you. Feast on nature’s pure beauty unsullied by other flavors. Savor the delight to all of your senses, and enjoy the nuances that our most natural food offers.
Ingredients:
Any one type of fruit (to desired volume)
Equipment:
(optional)
Directions:
Peel and/or wash the fruit, as appropriate.
