Fruity fruity bowl!

What better way to enjoy the weather warming up than by enjoying all of the gorgeous summer fruits which are coming into season? Hollow out a small rockmelon or watermelon and fill it with this seasons fresh strawberries, bananas, apples, melons and oranges! Enjoy a fresh fruit salad with no washing up! That's a win win situation in my eyes ;)

Tip- to keep fruit salads fresh throughout the day or for longer periods of time squeeze some fresh orange juice over the top!

Deliscious Summer Smoothie

Do you find that in summer you start craving beautiful fresh, light and chilled fruits instead of those heavy (and slightly naughty) winter comfort foods? If you're like me and you have a bit of a sweet tooth then this smoothie is perfect for you! It is full to the brim of antioxidants and all the vitamins and minerals that Mother Nature has to offer..

What you'll need-

- 150g strawberries

- 50g frozen mixed berries

- 1 small carton of coconut water (I've      used H2coco)

- 300g of watermelon

- 2 teaspoons of BodySciece imureds antioxidants

- 1 teaspoon of chia seeds

- a handful of fresh mint leaves

Smoothies are so quick and easy, all you then need to do is blend!

If it's a warm day I suggest adding some ice cubes to your smoothie to keep it beautiful and cool. As you're drinking it imagine all of those amazing antioxidants entering your body and doing wonders for you.

Enjoy!

Easy Peasy Perfect Pancakes

Are you ready for it!? Absolutely fool proof pancakes coming your way! I can't believe how simple yet AWESOME these babies taste so here is what you will need.

- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 cup of oats
- 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites
- coconut oil for the pan
- whatever ingredients you would like to top your pancakes with! I suggest any fruits or berries :)

The next step is simple! Blend the oats, eggs and banana together until you have a smooth pancake batter. This will make around 3 pancakes! Make sure that your pan is already heated before you pour the mix onto it. When you see the bubbles forming in the mixture you will know its time to flip it over!

As a sauce, I like to mix a scoop of my favourite flavoured protein powder with a small dash of water. When you mix it, it should be like a thick sauce. It tastes great drizzled over the pancakes.

Goodluck and enjoy!!
