Summer Luau

I will come up with just about any excuse to get together with some girlfriends and have a party. Last night was one of those occasions! It's summer, why not have a Luau party! It's an even better time when you can get in a fun way to workout...so we got together and did Hot Hula fitness with Michelle. SO fun, I'm a lucky girl to have such great people in my life! Thanks for a lovely evening ladies!
 
 
I wanted to keep our lite bites on theme with some Hawaiian inspiration and, as always, delicious and very nutritious!
Above is my chewy trail mix cookies, raw coconut balls (my favorite little treats!), and tropical fruit salsa. This "salsa" could be great on top of pancakes or yogurt, in a smoothie, or as we ate it with multigrain pita chips! Dive into summer and whip up this fresh fruit mix, here's what ya do-
 
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup fresh pineapple, 1 cup fresh mango and 1 cup fresh strawberries all cut to small pieces.
Add the juice of one small fresh lime and 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (more if you'd like!)
That's it! You can play around with it, maybe add extra kick with cayenne or cinnamon, make it sweeter with agave, or add extra fruit like papaya or blueberries!
