There is nothing that can cool, soothe and placate you like a cool beverage on a hot summer day. It can be an iced fruit drink or tea or a creamy smoothie, filled with rich low fat yogurt and fruit.

Then when the nights begin to cool and all you want to do is light a fire and curl up in front of it, we have the right accompaniment for that as well. Mulled Cider and Hot Spiced Tea to make your evening cosy and mellow.

If you are watching carbs and sugars, most recipes are adaptable to substition with sugar substitutes. Indulge in something healthy for a change.
