Fruit Salad
I like to brighten up Winter menus with fresh fruit salads or even a combo of fresh and frozen fruits. Here are some recent ones:
#1 Papaya, mango, raspberries, blueberries and banana. All fresh.
#2 Oranges, mango, pears, blueberries, banana, frozen strawberries.
#3 Pears, papaya, blueberries, banana, frozen dark sweet cherries.
#4 A salad of chopped baby spinach topped with leftover fruit salad.
#5 Strawberry "Fluff" made from pureed white beans, frozen strawberries, unsweetened soymilk and vanilla, topped with raspberries and blueberries.
Have you had your fresh fruit serving today?

I'd love to know more about the strawberry fluff! Can you email me measurements of the ingredients?
Thanks- glad I stumbled on to your blog!

Hi Amber, I sent you an email, but in case anyone else is wondering, here's what I did to make the strawberry "fluff". I didn't measure so these are approx. ingredients:
1/2 can cannellini beans (you could use pretty much any white be)
2 cups frozen strawberries
1/4-1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk or almond milk
dash of vanilla
I used the Vita-Mix and put the liquid in at the bottom, then the beans, then the frozen strawberries before blending. It would be best using a high speed blender, but maybe a food processor would work too (although I haven't tried that yet).
