When the heat is troubling you and you need immediately refreshment and cooling down, try this strawberry lemonade recipe. The lemonade will help beat the summer heat for sure. I hope you already have ice cubes in the freezer :)

When it comes to sweeteners, I usually suggest using your favourite sweetener. Today I chose a low-calorie product that goes perfectly with fruit, i.e. floral-herbal sugar.

A chocolate porridge shouldn't be missing among the breakfast bowls, because there is nothing better than chocolate – every child knows it :) This time I sweetened the porridge with dates, the sweetness is very pleasant. You can garnish the breakfast bowl as you wish – today I've chosen pomegranate seeds, chocolate shavings, roasted almond flakes and a pinch of green colour – the mint leaves.

I promised that there will be more smoothie bowls for kids on the blog, so I keep my word and have prepared today the second smoothie bowl. I wanted a nice green smoothie in the company of blueberries and hope your children will share my enthusiasm for such colours and flavours :)

The smoothie bowl is perhaps the best breakfast idea you can imagine - a colourful, eye-pleasing bowl that is also packed with vitamins and nutrients. No toddler will despise such a wonderful feast for the senses. When you want to eat the leftovers of your toddler, you don't have to worry about gaining weight :) And the most important thing: you will prepare such a delicious and colourful breakfast bowl in 15 minutes, so no excuses! Let's do it! Today, mango and raspberries are starring, but I plan to prepare other breakfast smoothie bowls, which will soon appear on the blog.

This apple pie is probably the easiest cake to make that I know. It can be prepared without the refined sugar, and it’s delicious anyway. Besides, it can be modified in many different ways, which applies to both flour and semolina as well as fruit. In the traditional recipe for this apple pie, the basic ingredients are wheat flour, semolina and a large amount of refined sugar, but it’s possible to make this cake gluten-free and without the refined sugar. You can sweeten the apple pie with blended banana or blended dates (then add them to the grated apples). You can also add raisins and very sweet apples, so that you don’t have to sweeten the cake with sugar, because it’s sweet enough then. Try also to prepare this cake with apples and pears – it’s really delicious, maybe even more yummy than with only apples.

This apple pie is the second dessert, which I decided to prepare with the floral-herbal sugar and I must admit that this sugar works great in fruit desserts. As previously mentioned, you don’t have to use it too much.

If you want to sweeten your life a little bit, but you are on a diet or can't eat sweets with refined sugar, I recommend healthy oat flake cookies with nuts and raisins, which I sweetened with sugar made from flowers and herbs. This sugar is my great discovery of the year 2021. It has only 0,1 calories per serving and a low glycemic index, but it still tastes very pleasant and can match the taste and the sweetness of ordinary refined sugar. I am very happy about this discovery and I can't wait to try this sweetener in all kinds of desserts. Give it a try and let me know if you share my enthusiasm.

These are the ingredients of the floral-herbal sugar: juice concentrate of arenga flowers, citron extract, cornflower petals, lotus petals, rose petals, sweet chili, safflower petals, hibiscus petals, natural vanilla aroma (contains vanilla fruit), root of a beetroot, cardamom seeds, orange peel, sunflower petals.

It's time for a dessert! It should be very sweet of course, and the chia balls with bananas and dried apricots are just like that. I recommend them to all foodies who need very sweet taste experiences. I added fried bananas to the chia balls, but you can go a healthier path and just cook them in a little water for a while. Obviously you can make it raw by adding raw bananas and a little more lemon juice to preserve them in a natural way and to stop the process of browning and spoiling. The strong point of this dessert are the chia seeds, which are known for their nutritional properties and health benefits.
