Fresh Fruit and Smoothies

 This section contains all varieties of recipes that can be sorted into the “fresh fruit” category.  One main component of Cooking Crew is the smoothie creation, because the young chefs love them and they are not very difficult to make.  Each week, a rotation occurs so that each group gets to make smoothies and so that at least one is made each week.

Another central component to Cooking Crew is our Raws and Slaws category.  Here, we experiment with many different methods, such as simple salads, quick pickling, international seasoning, various veggies paired with dips (found in the Mashed Stuff and Dips section), and more.  Be creative!  Innovation is the key to success.
