Grape Salad with Cream Cheese Topping
A yummy fruit salad filled with good fats too.
Servings: 1 medium bowlful
Ingredients
- 8 ounce bar of organic cream cheese, softened (here's the kind we buy) – if you like extra topping, use 12 oz. or 1 1/2 bars.
- 1 cup dairy kefir for a healthy twist and extra probiotics or just use sour cream --I love this brand because there's only cream in the ingredients, no other nasty fillers or preservatives. Either option tastes the same, no one will know the difference!
- 1/2 cup of no-GMO natural sugar + a little extra for the top, or I sometimes use real maple syrup instead for an unrefined sweetener, it's a little thinner but so good!
- I also add a splash of milk or whole cream for extra creaminess and more nutrients and enzymes (or extra dairy kefir)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Crispy pecans are optional but delicious! Even better are these easy candied pecans!
- 2 bunches of organic grapes, rinsed and dried. (Any type of fresh fruit is actually yummy in this!) Grapes are currently #3 on the dirty dozen list, so if I can't find organic, I don't buy them. (Instead try pieces of orange, apple, peaches, blueberries, etc.)
Instructions
- Mix everything but the grapes and pecans with your handheld blender until it's creamy, and then fold in the grapes.
- Sprinkle some crispy pecans or easy candied pecans on top along with a little more of your favorite sugar (optional). Easy!
