PUCKS

We're not talking hockey here.  We are talking fruit.  What???  Yes, fruit.  Throughout the year and especially in the fall most people have access to amazing fresh fruit.  Peaches, plums, apricots, apples, pears, bananas, cherries, all kinds of berries, etc.  But as we all know, sometimes the fruit ripens before we can eat it or bottle it.  What to do?  Toss it in the trash or compost?  Ouch!  Wasteful!  Expensive!  We all hate throwing money away.

Here is a TIP FROM A MAN... take that super ripe fruit, cut it up, place it in a blender on the low setting and puree it a little bit.  Just a bit.  Enough to make it smooth so it will pour, but not more.  Then take a muffin pan and pour the fruit in each hole like you are going to bake muffins.  But instead of the oven, place the pan in the freezer and let the fruit freeze into individual pucks!  When completely frozen, twist the pan slightly releasing the pucks.  Now scoop up the pucks and place them in freezer quality zip lock bags that you have already written on with a Sharpie identifying the contents and place the bag in the freezer.  Bam!

Now, when you want to make a green drink, protein smoothie, or festive chilled or frozen party drink, you will have a ready supply of natural, flavorfilled, nutritious, amazing fruit containing no preservatives or additives.  It is a fact that if we can easily get our hands on quality ingredients with little cost or effort we will eat better.  This little "puck" secret will 1) make preparation easy, 2) save money by utilizing fruit that would have spoiled and 3) help you to follow the TIPS FROM A MAN healthy eating guidelines.  Pretty cool, huh?

Enjoy life!

P.S.  Also works great with tomatoes, etc. but you probably already thought of that.
