You know those days when you've got a cold and you're at home sick and you just don't feel like doing anything much?
But you know you should be, so you just find ways to convince yourself you're busy, when in reality you're getting near nothing done?
Well yesterday was one of those days.
I mostly just lay around reading (books and blogs!), occasionally working on a geography report that's due today or getting up and getting myself a snack.
Achoo!
But anyway, this is my favourite home sick beverage. It's really yummy!
Plus it actually helps a sore throat!
Yesterday I decided to try something a bit different and add some ginger to my hot honey and lemon.
Believe me, you should try it too!
It was perfect!
So next time you're sick and miserable (or just feel like a nice warm drink) why not give this a go?
You probably won't regret it!
Hot honey and lemon with ginger
Juice of half a lemon
2 tsp honey
1/4 tsp grated ginger
Put all ingredients in a cup. Fill to the top with boiling water. Stir and taste. If you like, add more of something! Enjoy!
I'd better go make myself another one!

No biggie, but I got braces yesterday.
And they hurt.... a lot.
And I can only eat things that are cut up into about a gazillion pieces, or pureed!
But I'm going to have perfect straight teeth, so it's all worth it!
Isn't it????
But anyway speaking of pureeing, I have some delicious smoothie recipes for you today.
And they're healthy too, matter of fact!
The first one has tofu in it and the second has oats.
You're still here?? Yay! I thought everyone might have left after that bombshell!
Not that it's yuck having these things in your smoothies. It's actually AMAZING!!
Especially the oat one. I would eat it everyday if I could!
I think that they would taste even better if you were drinking them in the sun....
Not that we would know what that's like, given it's been cloudy and rainy FOR A WEEK!!
THEY CALL THIS SUMMER!!! Aaaaargh!!!!!
Ignore my raving about the weather, sorry.
I'm back on topic now.
They're really good with frozen bananas, but fresh ones work fine.
And they would be vegan if you used soy milk/yogurt.
And they serve 2.
And they keep overnight
And... here's the recipe.
Fruity summer smoothies
Tofu
300g tofu
1/2 cup milk (soy or cow)
1 banana, in chunks
1/2 cup fruit of your choice*, cut up
1 tsp honey or nutella
Oat
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk
1 cup yogurt
1/2 cup fruit of your choice*
2 bananas
1 tsp honey or nutella
Place all ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth.
How easy was that!!
Enjoy :)

*Some fruits work better than others, but choose fruits that you think your blender can manage. Passionfruit is especially good :)
