Pineapple and Coconut Sorbet On A Stick

In this warm and sunny summer season, ice cream is a must. And may"I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream", as they all say, be true! These fruity delights are so enjoyable to eat, and they're the perfect life saver in any warm situation. The tropical flavour due to the sweet and delicious pineapple and wonderful, nourishing coconut water is something you won't get in any store or market, no matter how fancy it may be. The only way to get a bite of these lovely ones is to make them by hand! It has no added sugar, and it's natural all the way through! So take your time, but you'll see that it will definitely be worth when you take your first bite! 

PINEAPPLE AND COCONUT SORBET ON A STICK

Makes 12 sorbet sticks

1 pineapple

1 cup coconut water

24 raspberries, frozen or fresh

12 lolly moulds

12 straws or lolly sticks

Prepare the pineapple by cutting off the top and bottom, and slice off the shell. Cut the pineapple into cubes, and put it in the juicer and wait till you get a lovely, smooth pineapple juice. Pour the juice over into a jug and add the coconut water. Prepare 12 ice lolly moulds (which you can buy in any kitchenware store or online). Pour some juice in every mould, but make sure not to fill it all the way to the top because the liquid expands when it freezes. Add two raspberries in every mould and place them in the freezer for about an hour. Take the moulds out, place one straw or lolly stick in every mould and place them in the freezer again. Let them sit there overnight or for at least 6 hours. Take them out, and they're ready to enjoy!

Apple And Carrot Detoxing Juice

I've been planning to do a little detox fast for quite a while now, and I found this week as the perfect week to complete the fast. I haven't decided if It's going to be a one-day or three-day fast yet, but I'm just thinking of taking every day as it comes!

When detoxing, the main key is to drink a lot of water, and a lot of juice. I also find it more effective if I don't have any school or plans, because then I can sort of schedule up the day after how I'm feeling at the moment. This is the first time I've ever done a detoxing fast, so I'm really just in the staring phase of figuring out how it all works, and what works best for me. 

The most known fruit is, apple. Because as they say: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Apple juice is awesome when cleaning up the system. It helps flushing out the wastes, and especially if you have changed lifestyle, you should consider doing a detoxing cure. I really felt like I needed to refresh the system after changing my whole lifestyle, and get rid of the rests of unhealthy material and stuff that my body won't take up, out.

Press all of the ingredients through a juicer and you'll have this wonderful, fresh and detoxing juice which you can keep in the fridge for the whole day, and enjoy whenever you want it!
