These combinations are more satisfying than you think. Here are a few of my favourites.
Super Refreshing Summer Drink
Club Soda (I’m partial to Canada Dry - I like how fizzy it is)
Ice Cubes
1 Tbsp of Cranberry Juice
A couple of berries (Raspberries or strawberries)
Slice of Lime
Find a great glass. Load in 4 to 6 ice cubes. Pour 1/2 to 3/4 cups of a can of club soda. Add in cranberry juice, a couple of berries and a squeeze of lime.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
I’ve said it before. This is one of my favourite desserts of all time. I find it more satisfying than a piece of chocolate cake and it’s a healthy dessert option.
I like to use a double boiler method however you can just use a sauce pot.
Simply melt some dark chocolate slowly and tilt the pot to the side and cover the strawberry. I use a toothpick or skewer to hold it. Place 4 or 5 of them on a plate and refrigerate for 10 or so minutes.
Tomato Bocconcini Salad (Caprese)
A truly satisfying salad!
1 medium tomato, sliced thin
6 leaves basil, fresh
2 ball (1 ounce) bocconcini, mozzarella balls, sliced
1 dash salt
1 dash black pepper
3/4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil.
1. Slice tomatoes and bocconcini.
2. Lay tomatoes and bocconcini on a nice plate and top with basil.
3. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over salad.
4. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
