Ice Cream Smoothie!

Ice Cream Smoothie! 

Ingredients:

(Serves 1-2)

6 frozen ripe bananas

1 litre water 

Allow your bananas to ripen fully so allow them to go nice and brown, preferably completely brown as this will make the sweetest and creamiest ice cream smoothie. Peel your bananas, tear into inch size pieces and lay on a tray in your freezer or in a freezing container. Once frozen add to your blender and fill until completely covered with water. Pulse blend until a thick, creamy, cool ice cream smoothie forms! This one is a definite winner :)

Piel de Sapo Melon Monomeal

Piel de Sapo Melon Monomeal 

Ingredients:

(Serves 1-2) 

1 large piel de sapo melon 

Choosing the best melon can make your meal extra enjoyable. Look for a melon with a large bottom circle, this is where the flower was attached. The larger the circle the longer it has been on the stem and the sweeter it will be. You want to wait until the melon is really ripe as that's when the flesh will scoop out soft and easily. It will be super juicy and satisfying. To tell whether it is ripe, you want to look for soft ends, a richer coloured skin and a sweet scent.

Donut Peaches!

Donut Peaches!

Ingredients:

(Serves 1)

6 donut peaches

Make sure they are perfectly ripe before eating. Peaches are climacteric fruit which means they have a starch reserve that turns into sugars as they ripen. They will be more juicy, sweet and much tastier.  You want them to be soft to the touch, the more delicate the better. Literally just grab and go, natures perfect fast food :)

Summer Time Corn on the Cob

Summer Time Raw Corn on the Cob

Ingredients:

(Serves 1) 

1-2 fresh corn cobs 

2 handfuls fresh spinach

4 sprigs parsley 

3 nasturtium flowers (optional and edible) 

The fresher the corn the tastier it is as it is less starchy. Just shred the spinach and tear up the parsley, pick some nasturtium flowers if you have some. Mine are homegrown, they add a nice spice to the dish. Then just add to a large bowl and serve. If the corn is too starchy raw then lightly steam. Super yummy.
