MANGO WATERMELON  SUMMER                                                           DRINK/JUICE




Such a delicious combination of mango & watermelon. Which is healthy and tasty too. In hot n humid weather fruit juices n smoothies are definitely a better and good option to have instead of having sugary drinks. 

Mangoes help to control blood sugar and blood pressure levels in body. Mangoes are very healthy and nutritious but has different vitamin content also. Watermelon which is full of Lycopene. Fruits which have Lycopene content has antioxidant properties that can help prevent cell damage, prevent diseases like Cancer. These fruits also add natural sweetness to the summer drinks.  

Very refreshing drink, easy to make and the best part of this drink is that you don’t need to measure any ingredients just as we do for other recipes, you don’t need to be a Mr. Perfectionist. It’s always so fun, experimenting with variety of fruit combinations for making juices and smoothies or shakes. Today I have made a cool, refreshing summer drink with the combination of sweet mangoes and watermelon.


Let’s have a quick look on Ingredients

1 large mango
1 & ½ cup watermelon
Fresh homemade cream
Ice cubes
* Add Sugar if you need  more sweetness ( I didn’t add any sweetener to make this recipe )

Preparation

How to make  mango and watermelon juice...

1. Wash the mangoes and watermelon, peel off.

2. Dice or chop the watermelon and mango separately.

3. Blend mango cubes along with ice and puree them.

4. Same process with watermelon, blend and puree them too.

5. Half fill the mango puree in a serving glass or jar.

6. Now slowly pour the watermelon juice on it with the help of a spoon or directly.

7. On the top pour some fresh cream or half-melted ice cream of your choice and flavor.


8. Give the final touch with the garnish of chopped mangoes, watermelon and chia seeds.

NOTES

1. Avoid using extra sweeteners to the juice as these fruits contains natural sweetness.
2. Blend the fruits separately until smooth.
3. You can add tender coconut water to it to raise the nutritional value of this juice.
4. Use fresh fruits to make smoothies or any sort of juices.
5. Mango requires more liquid or water as it’s a pulpy fruit, so I added watermelon. Mango puree becomes thick in volume once blended.  You can add water or coconut water to it to get the more liquid consistency.

Enjoy your summer with this refreshing drink…
Stay healthy and hydrated.

                 WHOLE WHEAT  CHOCOLATE CHIPS COOKIES



Whole wheat cookies are not just great in taste as well as these are good biting snacks for toddlers. WW cookies are also healthy and nutritious. We can also add dry fruits & nuts to it, to increase the goodness & nutrient value.
If kids are fussy and finicky then just grind or powder the dry fruits and nuts and add into the dry ingredients. (a clever tip from a struggling mom of fussy kids)


Okey, this is such a easy recipe, you need a handful of easy ingredients, am sure which you already have in your kitchen cupboard. 

These tea time cookies go well with evening tea or morning coffee. Biscuits and cookies are one of the greatest combination for tea time or tea parties. This WW cookies are one of the simplest and easiest cookies you will ever make. You don’t need a pre-mix or any other fancy equipment for making these little healthy cookies, just a handful of ingredients and your choice of nuts & dry fruits. These cookies were my attempt or you can say my experiment which turned out pretty yum that I couldn't resist my self stopping with just one cookie.

Taste and texture: Nothing can beat these cookies in taste as they are made up of WW.
Crispy crust and chewy and soft on the inside.

Without taking more time, I will take you guys to the recipe and ingredients…



 Let’s have a look to the required INGREDIENTS

Wheat flour 1 and 1/4th cup
Cocoa powder 1 and ½ tbsp
Brown sugar 1 cup
White Chocolate chips 1 cup
Raisins ½ cup
Corn starch 1 tbsp
Baking soda ½ tsp
Salt ½ tsp


 1 Whole egg
 Butter ½ cup
 Vanilla essence 1tsp
 Milk if needed


My way of baking METHOD

1. Cream the butter and sugar with the help of a whisker till the sugar is completely blended with butter. Mixture should look light and fluffy.

6. Do not knead, just combine smoothly to form a dough.

7. If the dough is really tight and thick, add one or two tbsp. of milk just to loosen the dough.

8. Scoop out the dough, roll into a ball. flatten them with spoon or rolling pin.

9. Place these flatten cookies into a lined cookie tray. (I flatten the cookie balls after baking of 8 minutes, again kept it for further baking.)

10. Bake these cookies in pre-heated oven for 15-18 minutes at 160 degree C or till they turn slightly golden.

11. Let them cool completely, cookies will be little soft when hot but soon cookies will turn crunchy and chewy when cooled.

Crispy crunchy & chewy

NOTE:  You can flatten the cookie dough before putting it in oven or else let it bake for 5-8 minutes then take out the tray and flatten them with a spoon, again bake them for 10 minutes or until turn crispy. 

Whole wheat flour makes the cookies little dense.

When the cookies are baked, it cracks on top which is quite normal, gives a nice crispy crust on top and bottom and chewy inner side.

Recipe tips

1. All ingredients should be in room temperature specially butter and egg.
2. Here am using wheat flour, alternatively you can use plain flour too.
3. If cookie dough is really tight, add 1-2 tbsp. of milk, one spoon at a time.
4. Time and temperature may vary for different ovens.
5. Adjust the recipe as per your preference.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
