2 bananas
1 Go-Gurt® portable yogurt
1 cup of honey
a squirt of fresh lemon juice

(Okay, Adam's version of the recipe didn't include the squirt of lemon juice, but we couldn't resist adding it. It's delicious!)

Directions

1. Place the apple in a blender and blend.
2. Add the bananas and blend.
3. Add the Go-Gurt® and the honey and blend.
4. Squirt in a bit of lemon juice for a zesty taste.
5. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Zesty Lemon Squares

Ingredients

1-1/2 sticks of butter, softened
1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons sugar

(Note: Rub the outside of an unpeeled lemon against a cheese grater: That's how you get lemon zest.)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the confectioners' sugar.
2. Mix the flour and the salt together in another bowl, then add this to the butter mixture.
3. Add in the vanilla and the lemon zest and mix well.
4. Gather up the dough into a ball and wrap it in wax paper. Put the wrapped ball in the refrigerator for four hours.
5. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it sit while the oven is preheating. (Turn the oven on to 325° F.)
6. Press the dough into an 8-inch-square pan. Sprinkle it with the sugar.
7. Bake about 20 minutes, just until the edges of the dough start to turn a light brown.
8. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool.
9. Cut into 2 x 2-inch squares.
