Almonds are a great anti-inflammatory food, and almond milk is low in calories; one cup is only 40 calories, making it less than half the calories in one cup of skim milk! Almond milk works great in smoothies and gives them a hint of almond flavor. This recipe makes enough for 4 one cup servings.

• 6-8 large unsweetened, frozen strawberries
• 2 cups vanilla flavored unsweetened almond milk
• ½ cup orange juice
• 1 cup plain yogurt (for a thicker smoothie. Omit if you want a thinner smoothie).

Fruit kebabs are fun, easy, very pretty and good for you! Eat these plain, top with a little light whipped cream, or pair them with this light chocolate raspberry sauce. Look for fruit that is ripe, yet still slightly firm – it will hold up better on the grill.

Ingredients:

• ½ fresh pineapple, cubed
• 3 or 4 nectarines, pitted and cubed
• 3 or 4 black or red plums, pitted and cubed
• 3 or 4 peaches, pitted and cubed
• 3 or 4 pears, cubed
• 3 or 4 apricots, pitted and cubed
• 12 to 15 fresh strawberries, stemmed
• 2 or 3 large oranges, segmented

Directions:

Alternating different fruits, thread cubes onto skewers. Baste very lightly with melted butter, or spray fruit with non-stick cooking spray. On a medium-heat grill, place the skewers with a little space in between each one. Turn fruit as it’s cooking, about 10 minutes or until there are visible grill marks on the fruit.
