A little snack before the world ends...





For a refreshing healthy treat, with a zesty flavor, Maya families enjoy this recipe filled with vitamins and natural carbohydrates to bring energy to a tired body.  Buy, if you can, an organic fresh pineapple that is ripped but with a firm flesh!  Best when chilled for a few hours prior to enjoying its immune system busting value:
Ingredients:
One large ripe organic pineapple peeled and cubed (check flesh is firm but sweet)
1/3 cup of fresh peppermint leaves chopped (or mint leaves)
Pinch of cinnamon powder
Pinch of crushed sea salt
Pinch of Chile Piquin (use cayenne powder as a substitute)
1/2 tea spoon of pure honey
Crush 4 whole cloves to mix with sugar and cinnamon
How to Prepare:  
         Place all ingredients in a chilled clay bowl (crystal bowl will do) and gently mix them to cover the pineapple chunk; cover treat cubes and refrigerate them.  Eat each as mini-cube treat snacks; if you please, add few drops of Don Julio Tequila to the mix for adult treats only.
