Dole Fall Blogger Summit Celebrating Disney's Frozen 2
Last week I joined a few other bloggers from the Los Angeles area at the California Health & Longevity Institute at the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village for the Dole Fall Blogger Summit Celebrating Disney’s Frozen 

We started the day with a breakfast reception and a Disney’s Frozen “Icebreaker” Trivia Activity

After enjoying our delicious breakfast we started the day learning all about the alliance between Dole and Disney.

Dole has been committed to creating healthier generations and they believe they can partner with parents and inspire kids to eat better, be more active, and be their best.

We also learned about Disney’s Mickey Check. Did you know that the Mickey Check was the first healthy-lifestyle tool for kids and families? Studies show that 88% of parents and 96% of kids find the Mickey Check appealing.
​
Then we had a hands-on world tasting premiere of original Dole recipes inspired by Disney’s Frozen 2. We prepared the following recipes:
  • Dole Snow-flower Pizza
  • Frozen Banana Split Cups

Pineapple is my favorite for breakfast but I usually end up with a banana because it's easier.
