Lottie-Daisy's surprise smoothie

We are always trying to get this infamous 5 a day into our daily lives the trick is to figure out how to do this without it becoming a chore. And for me smoothies are the answers when it comes to  our little girlies.

It's no secret lottie-daisy is a picky eater at the best of times, but she seems fearless so far when it comes to smoothies. 

I buy a mixture of fresh and frozen fruit for the smoothies and I would even freeze fruit for the purpose of a super quick smoothie. She says she doesn't like raspberries so between you and I lottie thinks this is a strawberry smoothie!!!

For lotties favourite smoothie (until the next comes along) you will need:

1 cup of fresh orange juice

1 cup of frozen raspberries

1 cup of Glenisk organic yogurt

1/3 of a pineapple

It's as easy as popping everything into your blender no need for ice cubes as your raspberries are frozen. And for the final safety net for a picky eater I sieved the smoothie as I poured it into the glass but I made sure to push as much through as possible.

Super quick yet super tasty

DIY Glenisk "Ice cream"

Summer has finally arrived and here in the Meredith household we are all excited  as it means more time on the kids beloved pony Victoria Plum, mucky boots from from the veggie garden and the compulsive evening ritual of watering the plants. 

With summer comes endless requests for icecream and when you live 2 doors down from the local icecream man you (as in I) gotta think quick. And I'm proud to say Iv come up with a genius idea....

I popped lolly pop sticks into the girls Glenisk's yogurts and stuck them in the freezer until they set....

Take them out a little in advance so you have time to wiggle them out from thei rplastic containers

without a restless audience demanding icecreams ASAP  :)
