Superfruits, Antioxidants, Omega-3s & More


Always looking for new ways to incorporate snacks into my daily routine, especially ones which aren’t necessarily in need of reheating or refrigeration, I’ve lately clung to a fruit, nut, & cheese combination.

I typically chow down on nuts quite often, what I’ve been eating along with them has updated ever-so-slightly. I mainly find myself plowing through bags of walnuts, occasionally I also grub on almonds as well.

So, along with walnuts, which I typically toss into the bowl first, I’d also toss in berries, whichever I’ve on hand. I usually try to make it a gentle blend of strawberries & red, as well as black, raspberries. This doesn’t always happen. I toss a bit of cocoa & then the “glue”, which has become cottage cheese, sometimes with a bit of ricotta cheese too.

If I’m feeling fancy, then I’ll sprinkle some fresh orange zest atop these layers just as one would top their dish of ice cream with sprinkles. Also, adding coconut flakes & sunflower seeds happens occasionally as well.

An alternative is quite similar, yet a bit different with a diced-up apple, or 2/3 an apple, atop the layer of walnuts. And with the apple option, it’s only seemed appropriate to swap out the cocoa with cinnamon making for an apple cinnamon delight.

Superfruits & antioxidants, omega 3s & more…All in one scrumptiously filling nutritiously colorful bowl. [All ingredient amounts are “to taste”.]
