Kiwi & Lemon Cooler...:P

Summer's at it's peak and it's quite tough when you have babies/toddlers who are quite fussy with their food...!
Well definitely not their mistake...anybody can be bored with the same food, same milk etc etc every single day so i'm sure most of you agree "Children" are no exception for that matter...;)

I love cooking for my one year old and when she...says "Mama" and gestures to express she wants more my joy needs no bounds...i enjoy her thoroughly for that matter...!!

Since "Dubai" is a place where 8 months of the year we are bogged with high temperatures ranging between 30+ to sometimes 50 degrees as well....!! Keeping your body well hydrated is very important...!!

Coming to "KIWI " a fruit that is Originally know as "Yang Tao" is actually the National Fruit of "The Republic Of China".

Eating kiwi fruit is clearly a healthy choice, and it is particularly useful in these cases:
  • Prevents Asthma.
  • Prevents wheezing and coughing, especially in children.
  • Protects our DNA from mutations.
  • Provides a healthy amount of antioxidants and vitamins.
  • Helps prevent colon cancer & also helps control diabetes & cholestrol levels thanks to a high fiber content.
Well to cut the story short quite a healthy and apt choice for summer, or even otherwise:

Ingredients:
  1. Kiwi Fruit - 6-8 nos.
  2. Sugar(White/brown/sugarfree) - 5-6tsp.
  3. Lemon - 2nos.
  4. Cardamom pwdr - 1/2 tsp.
  5. Water - 2-3 cups.
Method:
  • Peel the Kiwi fruit(but don't core them), blend sugar and kiwi in the juicer.
  • Add lemon juice, cardamom powder and cool water, mix all the ingredients well.
  • Strain the juice and serve cool.(pssst...you could add a few springs of mint in the juicer as well for a minty flavour..;)
Serves: 4nos.
Preperation time: 8-10 mins.

Very Refreshing & quick to make, enjoy...;)
