Fruit for Dessert Recipes

Directions

• Slice ripe bananas, place on parchment paper lined baking sheet, and freeze. 
• Once frozen, blend in a high-speed blender (like a Ninja, Vitamix, or Kitchenaid) to blend until smooth. 
• Add blended banana to a container or loaf pan, and spread evenly. 
• Freeze again for a few hours. 
• Note: Serving size is ½ the batch. Store in freezer for up to 1 month.

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 
• In an 8x8 baking dish (preferably a baking dish with a lid), spray with avocado oil. Place apples in a baking dish. 
• In a separate bowl, mix spices, oats, walnuts, and avocado oil together. Add mixture to the center of each apple. 
• Pour ½ cup water into the bottom of the baking dish. Cover the baking dish with a lid. 
• Bake apples for 30-35 minutes (apples should be tender when done), basting apples with liquid every 10 minutes. Bake uncovered for the last 5-8 minutes to get a crispy top. 
• Note: Serving size is 1 apple. Share the others with family and friends, or save the remainder for other meals and snacks!

Directions

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread a thin layer of yogurt across the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. 
• Add berries and nuts across the top. 
• Add a baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for 2-3 hours. Remove and either cut (or break) into pieces (should be about 24 pieces). 
• Store pieces in a large ziplock bag or reusable food bag in the freezer.
• Note: Serving size is roughly 4 per batch. Stores in the freezer for up to 1 month. ‍
• Generally speaking it's advised to choose reduced-fat yogurt products, should you eat them regularly. However, this recipe uses whole milk yogurt for the yogurt bark to retain its creamy flavor

Directions
