Cool and refreshing concoctions.
It seems to be that ever where I go lately I find myself giving out these recipes again and again. People are shocked to hear that there is such an easy and healthy solution to that heavy summer feeling that begs for a quick pick-me-up. The positive feedback is getting so great that I decided to let everybody in on the secret. Make space on your counter -- the blender is here!
Fruit Milkshake
Because this is a milk-based shake, it is not recommended to use any citrusy fruits. As long as your fruit is ripe and sweet enough, there is no need for any added sugar. For the best results, freeze your fruit at least a day in advance. I purposely buy overly ripe soft fruits, cut them into cubes and then portion them out into sandwich bags. When I am ready to make my shake, I just spill the frozen contents in the blender and add the milk!
Tropical Freeze
What a cool refresher on a hot afternoon!
Apple Slushie
A quick cool solution when you are out of frozen fruit. Try experimenting with other juice concentrates!
Homemade Iced Coffee or Iced Cocoa
This one is a bit less healthy but it sure beats the taste and price of the store bought version! For a calmer drink, try leaving out the coffee and cocoa and up the vanilla to 1 teaspoon.
Enjoy!
