ents. Rich and creamy cheesecake filling is folded into your favorite berries to create the most amazing fruit salad ever! Your family will go nuts over it.

PREP TIME: 15 MINS TOTAL TIME: 15 MINS

INGREDIENTS 1 pound strawberries, hulled and cut into quarters

1 (9 ounce) container blueberries, washed and dried (remove stems)

1 (9 ounce container) raspberries, rinsed and dried

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

1/2 cup Simply Pure Vanilla Coffee Creamer

INSTRUCTIONS Prepare berries and lay them on paper towels to dry while you prepare the cheesecake

mixture.

In a medium tall bowl, using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until it becomes smooth. It may bind up in the beaters, but continue as is and it will loosen up.

With mixer running slowly add creamer to the cream cheese. Add it about a tablespoon at a time and then mix until it becomes a smooth mixture and all of the creamer has combined into the cream cheese. Continue until all of the creamer has been added to the cream cheese. Whip until smooth.

Combine berries in a large bowl. Gently fold in cheesecake mixture until completely

combined.

Chill until ready to serve or serve immediately.

FOOD TIPS:

Manage Caffeine Intake: Caffeinated beverages like coffee or tea can dehydrate you. If they

are part of your daily ritual, make sure you’re also getting plenty of water: A good rule of thumb

is at least a glass of water for each caffeinated beverage

Use Herbs: Fresh herbs like dill, thyme, and rosemary are packed with flavor and highly

nutritious. Try keeping herbs in a window box or garden to make sure that they’re always at

your fingers, and use them liberally in dishes like roasted vegetables and simple stir frys.

Bonus: you’ll find that fresh herbs are so flavorful that you need less salt when using them.

Blend It Up: Have trouble eating enough fruit every day? Try blending your own morn-

ing smoothie to get your fill first thing in the morning.

Freeze Fruit: Worried about overbuying produce at the farmer’s market, only to watch it spoil

before you can finish it? Good news: fruit freezes beautifully! Pack ziploc bags with fruits like

strawberries and blueberries. Defrost them later for snacking, or throw them into the blender

as-is for a deliciously chilly breakfast smoothie.
