Passion Fruit Nice Cream (raw, vegan and gluten free)
You've probably heard of "Nice cream", the healthier alternative to ice-cream. They usually have frozen bananas as the base (a sort of equivalent to plain vanilla), blended in with any preferred flavoring (from chocolate chips to chia seeds, yogurt and raspberries...). I've seen all sorts of nice cream recipes and I can't get enough!
I like to keep frozen bananas in summer for whenever the ice-cream craving kicks in. You can use over-ripe bananas, they are too mushy to snack on as is, but great to freeze for nice-cream and smoothies as they are sweeter.
Nice cream doesn't have to be boring and plain, you can add whatever you like! Passion fruit is in season right now, so I decided to make a very easy batch of tangy and refreshing Passion Fruit Nice Cream.

Watermelon & Mint Refresher Juice
Watermelons are my favourite fruit, and I love to eat them as is, but having a pitcher of fresh watermelon juice ready to quench thirst for any moment on these hot summer days is the best!
Watermelons are low-cal, nutrient dense and filling, they also have many healthy benefits, like lowering blood-pressure, improving digestion, hydrating you from the inside (which results in glowing skin!) and recovering muscle soreness and inflammation. Need more benefits? Well, they are delicious!
The recipe for this is pretty simple

Refreshing summer snack: papaya and mango
As the temperatures rise up fruits ripe up; so before you reach out for that sugar-loaded popsicle, try a simple and easy fruit snack to cool you off. I used papaya, mango, passion fruit and blueberries, but your possibilities are literally endless!
Ingredients:
- 1 mango (diced)
- 1 papaya (diced)
- 3-4 passion fruit (extract the pulp)
- A handful of blueberries
Make sure to use fresh fruit and cut it in bite-size pieces. You can make this quick snack to eat right away or store it and take it to eat on a picnic or at the beach!
Papayas and mangoes are full of antioxidants, vitamin C and cancer-fighting properties. Papayas were called the "fruit of the angels" by Columbus, while mangoes are known as the "king of fruits", so a combination of these two can only been delightfully delicious and refreshing.
Passion fruit is added for a punch of tart flavor (bonus: it's also packed with antioxidants, and vitamins A and C!). Blueberries are in season right now, and guess what? Their antixodant properties are also beneficial for brain health and the nervous system. All of these fruits are relatively low in their glycemic index, making it a perfectly healthy snack for a low-sugar diet!

Congration, You Done It? Graduation Cake
Before you correct my grammar, know that it is intentional!
The "Congration, You Done It" cake is a viral image of a poorly made cake with questionable grammar (google it!). Ever since I first saw it I wanted one for my big day, my graduation! So my little sister recreated it with my mother's help...
Best cake ever!! The poor decorating skills are also intentional (well, mostly!)
One important chapter of my life has ended... I have such fond memories of college, I'd totally go get another Bachelor's degree if I had the money! Thanks to my family and friends for giving me so much, and celebrating this big day with me.
How do you remember your college days?
