Frozen Banana Sticks
4 ripe bananas
1 - 2 tablespoons honey
200g low fat Greek style yoghurt
1 cup vanilla soy milk
Roughly chop the bananas. Blend bananas, honey, yoghurt and soy milk
until smooth and thick. Pour into ice cube trays and stand popsicle
sticks upright in the centres. Freeze until solid. When ready to eat
give the ice trays a gentle twist to release the cubes or rub the bottom
of the tray with a warm cloth. Yum.

Blend 1 cup mixed berry sorbet, 2 cups cranberry juice and 1 cup of
frozen or fresh mixed berries.

Heavenly Dips
Serve up some dips and nibbles like Guacamole with
Long Grissini Sticks. A fun presentation is to have two tall beer or
latte style glasses with the dip in one and long grissini sticks in the
other.
For another healthy
option how about some Hummus or tzatziki with Carrot, Cucumber Sticks or
fingers of toasted Turkish bread.
