Christmas Fruit Platter with Balsamic

Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena goes well with fruit, and there is also a Balsamic cream you can buy which is less expensive and ideal to decorate plates.

Melon and apricot smoothie

 After the green juice of the previous post here is a smoothie, and the kids made it: melon, natural apple juice, banana and apricot, decorated with borage flowers (edible).

Beautiful heart melon and watermelon plate

This is perfect if you:

A: follow a raw diet (or don't know what to give to a raw eater/vega/gluten free/allergic/etc.)

B: prefer fruit to dessert (i.e. no time to make dessert)

C: want to lose weigh or to eat breakfast all day long

D: are in love! (BTW, this is perfect for St Valentine!)

All you need is a knife and a hear shaped cookie cutter.
