For the love of fruit!

The only thing we eat after 6pm is fruit. It seems to be the only thing that agrees with me after that time of day and hey I'm not complaining fruit rules! So, I thought I'd share some of the ways we enjoy our fruits :) Super quick, easy and so so nutritious :) I always have some organic frozen fruit like ripe bananas, blueberries etc in the freezer for days I want something 'ice-creamy'. This is great because you can add superfoods like maca, lucuma, spirulina, hemp protein etc and they really add yummy flavors too. When we eat fruits unblended we sometimes like to sprinkle some coconut sugar on top or even make a yummy chocolate sauce and drizzle (or dollop hehe) on top. I have 2 versions of chocolate sauce and we like to alternate between them. The first one is Maple syrup and cacao powder whisked together with a fork till it forms a sauce. Start off with 2tbs of each and see how you go. You might need more maple syrup but it does take some elbow action to get smooth..well for me anyway hehe. The other one we really like is dates, cacao powder, maca powder (on occasion) and some water blended in the vitamix till nice and smooth (but we like it a little thick). Super yummy!!
Strawberries and Frozen bananas blended with lucuma, maca, vanilla, dates and hemp protein yum!!!
