Fruit and Berry Compote
2 cups cubed fresh pineapple
1 cup fresh organic strawberries, halved
1 cup frozen cherries (pitted), thawed
1 cup dried fruit of choice, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup orange juice
2 oranges, peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
1 pear, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Combine all ingredients except coconut. Chill for a couple of hours or allow to sit overnight in refrigerator. If desired, sprinkle with coconut for garnish. Serves 4.

Strawberry Freeze
1/3 cup vanilla soy milk
2 frozen bananas
1 cup frozen strawberries
dash vanilla extract (optional)
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds (optional)
Ahead of time, peel and freeze ripe bananas in a plastic bag or kitchenware. This is a good way to make sure no bananas go to waste—just freeze the ones that start to get too ripe. Serves 2.

Creamsicles
3/4 cup water
1 1/3 cups raw cashew pieces
1 banana
1 orange, peeled
Place water and cashews in blender and blend until very-very smooth. Add a little more water if needed to assist in blending. Then add banana and orange and blend until all is smooth. Pour in popsicle molds and freeze. Serves 8.
