Rockit™ Apples take center stage on a charcuterie board, inviting a dance of flavors. Their sweet crunch pairs perfectly with creamy cheese and savory meats, creating a delightful symphony of taste and texture. This culinary experience celebrates the art of blending, reminding us that in a world of food, inspiration and pleasure go hand in hand. The Rockit™ Apples’ compact nature lends itself perfectly to snacking and as a charming addition to your charcuterie board. Each item below was curated specifically to pair perfectly with each bite you take!

Ingredients:

  • 1 shuttle of Rockit Mini Apples
  • 1 8oz wheel of Brie cheese 
  • 1 bunch of red grapes
  • 1 bunch of green grapes
  • 1 pk. sliced uncured pepperoni
  • 1 pk. sliced salami
  • 1 pk. cheese curds
  • ¼ lb. fresh figs
  • 1 box crackers of choice
  • 20 dark chocolate almond butter cups
  • 1 cup shelled pumpkin seeds
  • 1 cup snacking tomatoes
  • 3 mini wax-coated cheeses
  • 2 cups of popped corn
  • ½ cup of chocolate covered espresso beans
  • 3 mini brie cheeses
  • 1 pk. fresh rosemary

Directions:

  1. Place a small cutting board on your larger charcuterie board. Take the 8oz Brie cheese out of its packaging and set it on the small cutting board. Use a small biscuit cutter to make a hole in the Brie cheese that’s about the size of one Rockit™ Apple, then pop the apple in. It’s a perfect match for your charcuterie centerpiece!

  2. Incorporating food-safe greenery like rosemary into a charcuterie board is not only a matter of aesthetics but also enhances the overall dining experience. Rosemary sprigs not only contribute a visual touch of vibrant green, but they also release a delightful aroma that infuses the surrounding space with an inviting, herbal fragrance.

  3. Slicing your figs is not just about presentations; it serves a functional purpose too. These delectable fruits are known for their tender flesh and sweet, jammy center, which can be better appreciated when sliced.

You can enjoy this kiwi smoothie the traditional way in a glass with a straw—or you can turn it into a smoothie bowl and top it with granola, fresh fruit, nut butter, or seeds. Just add less liquid to make it nice and thick, pour in a bowl, and add what you like!

We like to make smoothies higher in protein by adding flavored protein powder and Greek yogurt. Not only does this make your green smoothie a little healthier, but it decreases the chance for crashing later in the day!

Ingredients:

  • Spinach: Spinach is so easy to sneak into smoothies for some extra veggies. Don’t worry—you won’t even taste it!
  • Rockit™ Apples 
  • Kiwi: Sliced & diced is best. Easier to blend!
  • Vanilla Protein Powder
  • Yogurt: Helps create a creamy texture and add extra protein! I used Two Good Vanilla Yogurt.

Instructions:

  1. Add frozen spinach to your blender with cold filtered water. Blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth. It will look like green juice!
  2. Add the Rockit™ apples and frozen kiwi.
  3. Add protein powder, almond milk, and yogurt to the blender. IMPORTANT: You want to layer the protein powder between other ingredients. If it is directly against the blade, it may acquire a burnt taste after blending. Then, blend on high for 30-45 seconds or until smooth.
  4. Pour in your glass or bowl, top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
