Chilled Cantaloupe Soup

Very refreshing and light. Great start to any meal! Melon, lime and mint- oooohhhhh so fresh and inviting! Posted for Zaar’s World Tour 2005- the ingredients are popular in Australia, Asia, Mexico and the SW.

Banana Smoothie

A delicious low-fat smoothie, sweetened naturally with honey, with extra nutrition from wheat germ and sunflower seeds, and extra flavour from cinnamon. A great morning-pick-me-up! I often take some to work in a Tupperware container with a firm lid, and enjoy it as a mid-morning snack.

Banana Shake / Smoothie

This is a smooth healthy shake/smoothie that everyone could enjoy. Little Miss (DD) loves her to drink banana shakes/smoothies so I had to slightly modify this recipe for her to be able to enjoy it. I used a very ripe banana and didn’t have a fresh orange at home so I used orange juice. I used a hand held blender to pulp the ingredients together. Original recipe comes from ‘The Little Book of Alcohol-Free Cocktails’ by Hamlyn

Authentic Jamaican Jerk Sauce

I found this recipe on www.jamaicans.com. We tried this and WOW was it awesome. I did not have allspice berries so I substituted ground allspice using one full tablespoon.

Masala cauliflower soup

Dr Rupy’s warming cauliflower soup is the perfect pick-me-up on a cold winter’s lunchtime. In November 2023, this recipe was costed at an average of £1.41 per portion when checking prices at four UK supermarkets. The recipe is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard.
