Wishing for a never ending summer..

28/8/2023

In the words of Paul Dini my “one wish is that the summer never ends!” But as we know, all good things must come to end. So, what better way to say farewell to the warmth of summer and welcome the cosy vibes of autumn, than with some chilly brews, lollies or smoothies! I’ve posted some of the recipes below for those looking to try them out before the summer ends. Hope you enjoy the last of the summer days!

.Fruit Lolly Recipe
- To keep it simple, it's best to use a 1:1 ratio of fruits to pineapple juice
- For instance, use 1 cup frozen mango cubes to 1 cup pineapple juice
- Blend together
- Pour in a ice lolly mould
- Leave to set for 12hours
-Demould and enjoy!

Repeat the process for other fruits such as Kiwi, Peaches, Apricots, Blueberries or any fruits of your choice.

Finding quick, no fuss snacks to eat whilst working on a project is as important as the project itself! Afterall it takes energy to create and a no frills sarnie like this one or a few sweetened slices of sourdough bread will do the job nicely.
