RASPBERRY, LEMON & MINT FRAPPE

Sometimes the best things in life are really the simplest. Take this raspberry, lemon & mint frappe for example. I was cooking yesterday afternoon and found myself not quite hungry, but peckish. This humble frappe was created and satisfied not only my appetite but my sweet cravings as well. All you need is a blender, some fruit and a just a hint of resourcefulness and 

ingenuity.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen; if frozen lightly thawed)
• 1 cup ice
• 1 cup apple juice (low sugar apple juice is best; I used Charlie's apple & water)
• 1/2 cup water 
• the juice of 1/2 a large lemon
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint, roughly shredded. 

PREPARATION

1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until the consistency is of a thick juice. Serve cold, with mint on top, if desired. 

Serves / 2

Total Preparation time / no longer than 5 minutes

WATERMELON LIME GREEN JUICE

This green juice is incredibly easy to make. I was blown away by how only 4 ingredients could taste so good and so revitalising. Even my little pup Bear wanted to get his paws on some! I love drinking light smoothies and juices for a snack during my day, as I love the fresh ingredients. The only downside about this recipe is that it serves only 1, so many sure to double the quantity if you are not alone! 

INGREDIENTS

• 2/3 cup sugar-free coconut water (Aloha Health makes a great one)
• a large handful of baby spinach, washed
• 200g watermelon, chopped roughly 
• squeeze of 1/2 a lime 

METHOD 

1. Place all the ingredients in a good quality blender with a handful of ice cubes. Blend until all ingredients are combined and the consistency is runny, like that of a juice. Have a taste and add some more coconut water or a drizzle more lime if need be. 

Serves / 1 

Total Preparation & Blending time / 5 minutes maximum
