I hope your 4th of July weekend is full of…
- footWORK
- legWORK
- resistanceWORK
- teamWORK
- hardWORK,yardWORK houseWORK
- …and a whole lot of fireWORKS
And for a healthy dessert, I think anything with fresh berries will WORK. Like this dynamite…
Red, White and Blue Almond Burst
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup water
- 1 T vanilla extract
- Stevia (or honey) to taste
- Blueberries and strawberries (of course raspberries work)
Blast the almonds, water, vanilla, and stevia in a high speed blender until smooth. Chill. Top with fresh berries and serve!
This recipe makes about 6 servings. I think it tastes like a cross between a pudding and a really thick cool whip only it won’t cause the elastic on your gym shorts extra work.
Now I really must go put up my American flag and get back to my social netWORK!
