POE Fittness Challenge

Thanks for the tip about the yogurt, Shirley.  I'll have to give it a go.  Have you had frozen bananas?  Just peel, place in freezer bag and freeze.  Even if you're not crazy about bananas, when they're frozen, it's like eating ice cream.  Frozen grapes are great too.  They're like little popsicles.  We often freeze the juice of fresh lemons in ice cube trays to give a drop of flavor to a plain glass of ice water.

Sorry about the watermelon, BTW.

UUMM Ruth i have never tried frzen Bananas but i do eat frozen grapes love them! And i have done the lemon before i like that also and we do blueberries and stawberries in cubes and put them in water or other drinks its really pretty to.

  I dont know if you all like mashed potaoes but i have a recipe if anyones intrested it smashed cauliflower mixed with other things and it really taste like poatoes but a lot better for you.

Oooh, Debbie, that sounds wonderful.  There is nothing more delicious than mashed potatoes, and of course, they're about the worst thing you can eat if you're trying to lose weight.

Can you post it here?

 Creamy Cauliflower Puree

1. 8 cups bite-size cauliflower florets
2. 4 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
3. 1/3 cup buttermilk or equivalent buttermilk powder
4. 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
5. 1 teaspoon butter
6. 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
7. Freshly ground pepper
8. Snipped fresh chives to garnish

1. Place cauliflower florets and garlic in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover and steam until very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place florets and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water, cover and microwave on High for 3 to 5 minutes.)
2. Place the cooked cauliflower and garlic in a food processor. Add buttermilk, 2 teaspoons oil, butter, salt and pepper; pulse several times, then process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and garnish with chives, if desired. Serve hot.

Yield: 4 servings
