For this pairing I decided to go less savory and more on the sweet "treats" side. The J. Olive Co. Cascadian Wild Raspberry White Balsamic and Blood Orange Olive Oil are wonderful on top of fruit or any salad. You could even use this pairing to flavor up a smoothie! Two of my favorite recipes from this pairing came from inspiration from 2 of our Clean Kitchen Coaches! Coach Michael had the clever idea to turn cantaloup into a Cantaloup frozen sorbet, and Coach Kellar's Orange Almond Muffins got a raspberry-twist re-vamp, Raspberry Muffins! This wouldn't be a CK recipe post if we didn't throw in some veggies with Warm Red Cabbage Salad. Our last treat is Crock Pot Apple Sauce! I always joke that muffins are just cupcakes without icing, but these perfect, small, sweet bites are much lower in sugar, pack loads of fiber, and a good bit of protein. These would be a hit at any shower party!

Cantaloup Sorbét

You guys can thank Coach Michael for this idea! I think it is pretty brilliant. We took chopped frozen cantaloup and mixed it with a bunch of goodness. This is a perfect treat on these blazing Mississippi afternoons! Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen chopped cantaloupe
• 2 tbs J. Olive Co. Raspberry White balsamic
• 1 tbs J. Olive Co. Blood Orange Olive Oil
• 1 tbs Quest Vanilla Protein powder

Directions Combine in food processor and pulse until desired consistency. You can add more Raspberry Vinegar if needed to loosen mix more. Enjoy immediately! I have kept leftovers in the freezer and it was just more "icy" than creamy as leftovers. Still super tasty.
