Green tea, orange, peach and mango cooler
Hello hello! It’s absolutely gorgeous outside today (well at least it looks that way from my window!), so I wanted to make something reminiscent of spring. It’s still pretty cold outdoors, but at least the sun’s shining. To bring a little more sunshine indoors, I made a green tea cooler with orange, peach and mango juice and a hint of lemon. It’s absolutely refreshing!
Beauty Eats-Watermelon and grape granita
Ahh, just a few more weeks of summer – I really wish it could last longer! To make the most of the hot weather, I wanted to make ice cream, but since that’s not really good for the waistline, I decided to try granita instead. For those of you who haven’t had granita, it’s like a frozen sorbet, but with the texture of a snow cone. It’s easy to make and absolutely delicious! This recipe has no added sugar and also has ingredients that are good for your skin – I’m sure Connie from the Beauty Nerd agrees.

Have you ever thought about how food and beauty are linked? My friend Connie from “The Beauty Nerd” and I started a new series called “Beauty Eats” last week. In this series, we will explore foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics that will leave you with a healthy radiance! If you missed last week’s Beauty Eats post , you can find it here.
In this week’s post, you’ll find an easy recipe for a healthy frittata that tastes as good as it looks. It’s a dish that works well for brunch and can even be paired with grilled chicken for a hearty lunch or dinner.

This pomegranate lemon sparkler is sure to lift your spirits at the end of a long day!
