Healthy Fruit Dipper

Thought all you Mac user would enjoy this pic! Any how, I found this great recipe for a fruit dip, that you can just whip up and keep in the fridge for a afternoon snack with your favorite fruit. I have been enjoying this with strawberries, apples and pears.

2 T. ground flax seeds

6 oz. creamy low fat vanilla yogurt

1/4 cup sweetened coconut flakes

Blend all together in a bowl and enjoy!

GOOD FRUIT COMBOS:

Winter: Orange and kiwi

Spring: Strawberries and pineapple

Summer: Blueberries and peaches

Fall: Apples, pears, and grapes

Easy Snack!!

This is a little snack we picked up from Israel.  Watermelon and Feta!!  Who would have thought.  It's the classic salty and sweet mix.  During the summer, any beach you go to in Israel, offers this as a snack.  I was instantly hooked.  All you do is cut up some watermelon, and mix with a little feta.  I tend to find the feta in brine works better.  Make this for your next trip to the beach, and you won't be disappointed.

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

The verdict: This treat was for me, and I loved it.
