How’s summer going for you? In July, we travelled to turkey. We did it before, it was amazing, I posted a recap, and this year was even BETTER. The main reason was to meet some of my family members, also to participate in a trial race, in Uludağ mountain in Bursa, Turkey. I only ran 6km, and I wished that I have done more. It wasn’t easy to run, as the highest elevation was about 1800 , you can check more about it here, maybe you would consider participating next year!
It was so hard to come back to work after vacation , it was a long one, around three weeks, with lots of sight seeing, historical places shopping, and sipping lots of Turkish coffee and tea in in Istanbul and even running rounds.
And while I’m getting beck slowly to work (I run small business now). I’m not into he mood for heaving cooking in Dubai summer heat, and after long days of non cooking. Therefore, I opt for an easy recipes, healthy and refreshing and mostly easy so you can enjoy! Because I’m sure you much have a busy summer! And if it wasn’t, its a refreshing popsicle that surely would draw a smile on your face.
Rainbow Popsicles
This recipe is so fun and easy that you can make with your kids in the summer break. It is highly customizable, I choose these fruits because they are easily available here, and has nice colors and family favorites. I always recommend to use local and seasonal ones. Unfortunately, here we hardly have any local fruits, beside some melons . But you can use fresh berries , peach or any seasonal one. These rainbow popsicles are vegan for a lighter version of traditional ice cream.
Suggested add-ons:
You can easily add herbs (dried or fresh) like basil leaves, thyme, and mint. And spices, and other condiments like : shredded coconut, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and chia seeds.
