Orange-Strawberry Dessert

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. Combining the tartness of strawberries with the citrusy tang of oranges, this creation makes for a refreshing and super simple dessert.

Servings: One serving is up to one cup

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of strawberries, hulled and cut into quarters
• 2 large oranges (You can also use drained and rinsed mandarin oranges for this dessert, or for this one I used the new Sumo Mandarins that you can find fresh in some grocery stores. They are huge for mandarin oranges and are very juicy.)
• ½-1 tsp of Truvia
• 1 tsp of chopped mint (optional)

Instructions:

Wash and prep your strawberries. For the orange you can just peel it and cut the segments into bite-sized pieces, or, if you hate pith (the white part that coats the orange segments as much as I do) you’ll peel the orange using a paring knife. I cut the peel and the pith off at the same time. I might waste a bit of orange flesh but not much.

Put the cut up orange pieces and the strawberries in a bowl. Sprinkle on the Truvia. If you want to make it a little fancier, add the mint and stir.

Leave in the refrigerator to macerate (combine flavors and get juicy) while you are having dinner.

Serve in a pretty bowl with a spoon or a fork. If there is juice in the bottom of your bowl, feel free to sip it.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
