G LU G G ING lots of bot­ tled water and taking lash­ ings of extra vitamins sounds like the perfect recipe for looking good and staying youthful looking. I t is commonly thought


that we need to drink at least eight glasses of water a day to glow with health and that plentiful vitamins will pep up jaded complex- _ ions and make the hair ! shine. ;

SUMMER is making its way back into our lives again, and with the weather hotter the methods of cooling down get more extravagant. Cracking open a can of fizzy


pop or pouring some fruit juice docs not seem that exciting. These days what you need to get your tastebuds tingling is a smoothie or shake which is exotic and easy to make.


All you need is a blender and


a bit of imagination. They can be made from all of your


favourite fruits plus an array of spices, mUks and ice creams. The best thing about


smoothies is that they are very healthy. The fresh fruit and juices provide you with lots of the vitamins and minerals


your body needs. Doctors say we should have


five servings of fruit and veg­ etables a day - and having a smoothie is a tasty and easy


way to get your required dose. Things like yoghurt, nut


milks and soy milk can also be added to give them even more goodness and taste. You can also add chocolate or ice


cream to make them that little bit more special - if not as


healthy. As refreshing summer


drinks, they are not only sim­ ple to make but fun and you can finally put that blender to use on a regular basis. They can be made quickly for your­ self or in bulk for guests at a


summer barbecue. Elsa Peterscn-Schepelern,


who wrote the best-selling book “Smoothies and Other Blended Drinks” , has just produced “ Smoothies and


Shakes” . Denby Factory Shops


’ It is full of recipes for fruity smoothies, icy beverages, drinks made with yoghurt or different milks and some naughty but nice ice cream


drinks. Here is a smoothie recipe


for you to try out before you start experimenting with your


own ideas. STRAWBERRY SLUSH


WITH MANGO AND LIME (serves 1-2)


1 ripe mango, peeled,


deseeded and chopped, or 1 small can unsweetened mango


pieces Grated zest and juice or 1


lime


6 large strawberries, hulled and halved !


I . , ,1 ,


6 ice cubes Sparkling mineral water Honey or sugar to taste Put the mango into a


blender and add the grated lime zest and juice and the strawberries. Add the ice cubes and blend to a froth. Put in enough mineral water


to make the blades run and make the mixture to the consis­ tency you prefer.jAdd honey or sugar if using then serve. You can also freeze the mix­


ture into gorgeous frozen lot- lipops to have later.
