Bananas with Date Caramel Sauce

Rich delicious dessert, a healthy alternative to puddings and trifles

Slice banana rounds in to a bowl, make sure they are ripe bananas for best flavor.


Blend (or Magic Bullet) 4-5 dates with just enough water for it to blend, should be a thick creamy sauce, or continue to add water to desired consistency.   You can add a dash of vanilla for a more caramel flavor.

Add none or whatever fruit on top for more tastebud excitement.

Pour sauce over bananas.  Devour!!

Swimming Mangoes

Swimming Mangoes is a refreshing breakfast/dessert/anytime snack!

2 cups of chopped mango (we used Champagne mangoes but any kind will work)
1 YOUNG thai coconut, just use the water and not the jelly/meat ( here's how to open, its a lot easier than you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THEdI_gSNQ4 )


Put the chopped mango into a bowl and pour coconut water over them.
Devour!!

**Use the meat in our zuchinni pad thai recipe.
