It is that time of year when we start to think about the potential for fewer fleece jackets and more shorts and even short minis! After my last business meeting I needed to come up with some new snacks to satisfy those before-gym, late afternoon and after-dinner sweets cravings. I came up with a great, quick new recipe to curb those hunger pangs, tame the sweet tooth and provide enough protein and energy for a boot camp workout. Here you go:
one 5-6 oz container of fat free plain Greek yogurt (brand of your preference)
1 small apple, pear, banana or kiwi (again, your preference...you could choose another fruit too!)
cinnamon
1-2 tablespoons of instant or quick cooking oats
1 tiny packet of Sun Crystals (optional)
Chop up the fruit with knife or use food processor or hand blender. Mix in oatmeal. Sprinkle cinnamon liberally to taste on chopped fruit/oatmeal and mix well. If desired add Sun Crystals. In alternating layers place yogurt, and chopped fruit/oatmeal. Top with fruit. Freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour for more ice cream like consistency. I like to tote it with me when I am working in one of those freezer cups and it stays cool all morning till I am ready to eat it. Enjoy!
