Ah, summertime. Pink cheeks, couples holding hands, everyone throwing financial caution to the wind – splurging on street eats and time spent away from work. Canadian summers breeze by so fast, we gotta enjoy and indulge!
This blushing blend of signature summer indulgences will help you hydrate and heal. Strawberries are jam-packed with antioxidants and essential vitamins and watermelon boasts the highest amount of lycopene of any other fruit, not to mention it’s phenomenally hydrating.
Last, to add a little somethin-somethin’ to your smoothie to help cool you down, try this: an herbal blend of David’s Tea, Pink Passionfruit, in cube form! Trickery like this involves a little forethought and preparation, but it’s easy-peasy.
To brew a pot of this cheery goodness, use 1 tbsp of tea to 4 cups of water. Let it steep for 6-10 minutes then pour into an ice cube tray. (You can chill the remaining tea for another yummy drink.) A few hours later, you’ll have tasty ice cubes to add to smoothies and other bevvies.
