As the weather heats up, we’re all looking for something more interesting than water, but not coke, to quench our thirsts with. Here’s a few I’ve tried recently…

GC Raw Juices. All with less than 10g of sugar per 100mL, these aren’t just ordinary fruit juices. They have veges too, without that vege taste :)
My fave was the Berry Burst with its sneaky beetroot juice (great for blood pressure), which I downed after a hot and humid run. Rish went the Citrus Crush which was a little like a breakfast juice, while my flatmate felt the Pine Punch was best served on a Friday afternoon with ice and vodka ;)

Next up, we have the box of C Coconut Water that arrived last week. A Sydney based company, bringing this drink to us, with no added sugar. Not to my taste, but Rish has been guzzling it!

Lastly, Herrljunga’s +46 Apple and Pear Cider. From sweeden, and for only $12 for a four pack from BWS this week, goes down a treat!
So tell me, what are your summer refreshments of choice?
The juices were received from Soup to review, the Coconut water was won, and the cider was bought on a whim

Or Cicadas, whatever.

Surely more competent on a cricket pitch than Mr Ponting and crew?

Mmm Calippo! I only ever ate the Lemon flavour as a child, but this all-fruit Berry flavour from the newsagent went down well this afternoon – good for my sore, dry throat!

Summer dinners for me involved something small and cooked, surrounded with a huge amount of salad!

Saturday Dinner.
Of course, it’s even better to get Rish out on the BBQ :) That’s where salmon, steaks and sausages come in!


Enjoyed a few glasses of wine… retoxing a little after my week away ;) The wine’s a sparkling sav blanc, and the strawberries tasted awesome after soaking in it ;) Picked those up for less than $2 a punnet at Aldi.
Last night I made the cherry tomato and feta tarts from the Golden Door cookbook :) Once I figured out defrosting the pastry they were nice and simple. Next step will be finding a place to buy frozen egg white here in Canberra so Rish doesn’t have to get through so many yolks!


Post-gym smoothie. :) Frozen berries, Ladybird Soy Protein, So Good, Jalna Greek yoghurt and ice.

Went for some sprints this morning on the oval near work. Does it not surprise you by looking at the picture above at how dead the grass is, that the ground was hard as rock, and we moved to the soft soft bitumen of the road instead?
