5 Summer Snacks

Here are some ideas on what to have for a summer breakfast/ snack, if you don't want to have too much of anything, but want something to fill you up!
Hope you enjoy!

1. Fruit and yoghurt: This is my all time favourite breakfast during the summer months, as it is so simple to make, yet it fills you up. For this you will need:

.Fruit of your choice (I like using different berries)
Danone Yoghurt (any flavour)
and this is pretty much it! You can use what ever fruit you want, and as much or as little as you want, as it is summer, I would recommend strawberries, raspberries and pineapple with your breakfast, as it has a lot of flavour, and will fill you up the whole morning.

2. Strawberry infused water: This is absolutely delicious and just gives a bit of flavour to your water if you don't always like having pure water. You can either use bottled or water or tap depending on what you prefer, and instead of strawberry, mint and lemon slices are also lovely!



3. Egg/ chicken salad: If you don't like egg you can choose a ready cooked meat such as chicken, and it will be just as good, I usually use, lettuce, 2 eggs cut in half, cucumber, Caeser Salad dressing, carrot shavings/sticks and thats it, but you can add whatever you want to your salad.

4. Frozen grapes: This are absolutely delicious, the best time to have them is if you keep them in the freezer for 1/2 hours and they are almost frozen, but not completely, if you do like them completely frozen, I would recommend keeping them in for 2/3 hours.

5. The final snack that I like to have in the summer are homemade ice-lollies. I think this is my favourite because you can use what ever juice you would like such as Lemonade, orange juice, orange squash, blackcurrant, etc.
 For this you will need:
 4 Ice lolly moulds
3 segments/pieces of fruit that you want, kiwi, strawberry, lemon, rasberries, blackberries, blueberries are all extremely nice, and if you really want you can add yoghurt instead of juice, if you want it to be like frozen yoghurt. 
If you use juice fill it up (without water) 3/4 of the way the mould if you like it strong and then fill it with water for the rest. If you use lemonade you don't need to add the water, but add the lemonade half way, put the fruit in and then fill the rest of the mould. After this, put it in the freezer for around 4-5 hours. And hope you enjoy!

So there it is 5 Summer Snacks, which I like to have, hopefully you will like them too, and are all very easy to make. Thank you for reading!
