Cranraspberry Smoothie

Today is absolutely beautiful here, it is singlet weather which is great and the kids are happily playing in the gorgeous sunshine.
I thought I'd make them a healthy treat, which is also a great after school snack for littlies.

Cranraspberry Smoothie

ingredients
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1 cup vanilla yoghurt
  • 1 cup cranberry juice
method
  • blend all ingredients together and serve, easy as that
you can add some honey or maple syrup to sweeten it up a little, I didn't and the kids loved it. it makes enough for one adult and two littlies.

enjoy the day whatever the weather is ♥

    Almost every time I come and visit, I leave as hungry as a horse or desperately craving sweet treats. Why don't you do something with cauliflower? I'd be pretty safe with that.

    From age 7 on, I lived primarily with my Dad (whose fantastic by the way, but I digress) and smoothies were his breakfast staple for my sister and I (dare I include that he sometimes threw a raw egg in the mix?). All grown up now, I still enjoy them (raw egg free though) but haven't ever tried cranberry juice as an addition! I'll have to get right on that...

Honey Jumbles

Image
I just realised that I have been using honey and spices in alot of things lately, I guess it's because it's winter and the smells and tastes make you feel warm and sweet. Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish. Honey Jumbles ingredients 90g butter 3/4 cup honey 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons mixed spice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons milk   icing 1 egg white 1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted vanilla extract  strawberry paste Method Place butter and honey in a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil over a low heat.

Berrylicious ice cream recipe and a giveaway for you
