Take it to your next pot-luck and WOW everyone with this unique and delicious combination. As a foodie, one of my favorite things is being challenged - challenged to get out of your comfort zone and being pushed into an area of uncertainty. One minute you’re bouncing ideas off other like- minded friends and swapping recipes, the next you’re grating cucumbers into cheesecake dessert bars… wait, what?! Yes, you heard me right - Cucumber Lime Cheesecake Bars! If you haven’t tried using cucumber in a dessert, let me first remind you that this idea isn’t completely foreign. Think of carrot cake, where the sweet, earthy carrots perfectly balance out the nutty pecans and simultaneously help take the edge off the super sweet cream cheese frosting. Together, the combination of flavors makes for an award-winning dessert.

Get inspired with simple tips and easy recipes to help update your snack choices. Start enjoying the rewarding benefits of including more vegetables today. With greenhouse grown vegetables, you can choose fresh any time of year! Unfortunately, many convenient options are also packed with sugar, preservatives, bad fats, and other processed ingredients that have an impact on our bodies. Consuming these types of snacks can affect you both daily, and in the long run. But don’t despair – just by taking baby steps and piggybacking on current daily routines can result in positive change! As modern life is more demanding than ever – from looking after our families, domestic duties, working full-time, and commuting on a daily basis – time moves quickly. We get set in our routines and we tend to put others needs ahead of making time for our own well-being. Even with the best of intentions, we often choose not-so-good snacking choices for the sake of time and convenience. There is nothing like snacking on nutrient-dense vegetables, that are juicy, refreshing, full of flavor, and most importantly, pure natural fuel for our bodies. So how do we incorporate the good fresh snacks into our busy days? We’ve put together a few easy hacks that use the best greenhouse grown snacking vegetables to make you feel great. It’s time to #snackhealthy and experience Pure Flavor®!
