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.
Tropical sunshine smoothie
Good morning! After a weekend of indulgence, the best thing to have for breakfast is something light and “guilt-free”. This smoothie captures tropical sunshine in a glass and is sure to lift your spirits for the week ahead. To add a twist to the smoothie, I added a hint of ginger for some zing and mint for a refreshing flavour.
When you’re in a rush to get out the door, making a smoothie is probably the easiest way to get some nutrition in a glass. This smoothie has a serving and half of fruits and a full serving of dairy. I doubt I’d be able to have that if I actually had to sit down and eat breakfast. That’s why I don’t think I could live without my trusty Magic Bullet!
Raspberry mint sparkler…
I’m ready for summer, especially after all the rain we’ve been experiencing in Toronto. We’ve finally had some warm weather and I wanted to create something that captures the essence of summer in a glass. Fresh raspberries and mint combined with some zingy lemon create a refreshing drink that you can’t get enough of.
