Summer Smoothie Recipe

I love summer. I mean, who doesn't? The lovely weather, being able to go to the beach and enjoy the sunshine, going on long walks outside, and the food. I'm talking fresh salads, ice-cream, barbeques, and, my favourite summer delicacy, smoothies. Easy to make, and amazingly tasty, smoothies are an essential. To celebrate summer, and the half term (in England anyway), I've created a delicious (if I do say so myself) summer smoothie recipe, for you to try!

Summer Smoothie recipe - Serves 2 (or 1 if you're feeling greedy).

You will need:

• 1 apple
• 1 mango 
• 250ml of Orange Juice
• And a Blender

Instructions:

1. Firstly, pour the orange juice into the blender.
2. Then, chop the apple and mango into small chunks, and add it to the orange juice.
3. Turn on the blender and put it on full power for 1 and a half minutes, then pour into 2 glasses (I served mine in a mason jar because they're cool).

And voila! You have the perfect smoothie for summer!

Brick Lane & Bagels!

So today, I visited Brick Lane, and one of the very first bagel shops in Britain! Beigels Bake is open all hours, and, judging by the street-long queue outside, is very popular, serving punters since 1977. When visiting, although there was a whole host of varieties, I, being a vegetarian and quite a picky eater settled for a butter filled bagel. Not the most elaborate of choices, I know, but, for only 30p who's argueing? To drink, I got a frappe (a self-confessed guilty pleasure of mine) from the coffee shop next door, and that all added up to create a nice summer lunch, that was quick, easy, very cheap and very delicious (I brought some home to have for my tea!). I'm definitely going to go there again!

Total Cost: £3.50 (Bagel - £0.30, Frappe - £3.20)
