Healthy Smoothie Fizz
I have always believed that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I would like to start mine with a glass of healthy smoothie. However most of the times I end up with a mug of tea and a toast or a cracker. But last year I decided to make some changes in my lifestyle and started exercising and tried eating healthy. One of my regular routines was trying new recipes for smoothies after workouts. Then one day while shopping at IKEA, I tried one of the Naked Juice smoothies at their restaurant and was instantly hooked on to it. I loved it so much that I almost tried all their flavors in just about a month.
But today I’m putting a twist on these and making a healthy smoothie fizz instead. By adding a few ingredients we’ll transform it into a great summertime drink and a definite crowd-pleaser. This recipe is not only super healthy (with an extra boost of vitamin C), but also a stylish looking drink for your all those parties you’re planning to throw this summer.
Chocolate Grilled Peaches
Walking into the grocery store during summertime is such a treat. It just looks so bright and colorful. The produce section specially, is over flowing with berries, cherries, peaches, melons and so many fresh fruits (most of them are on sale too). My mind starts racing with ideas on different ways to use them and put a spin on the classic recipes. I’m thinking cocktails, pies, tarts, jams, salads etc. Today I’m making ‘Chocolate Grilled Peaches’ with a cereal crumble and sprinkles as toppings. They’ll be a great appetizer for a summer party or even a tasty poolside snack paired with a crisp prosecco or a fizz. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Fresh Peaches, Semi-Sweet & White Chocolate Chips, Cereal, Milk or Creme and Sprinkles
How to:
Cut the peaches into medium-sized wedges (not too thin). You can grill them on an outdoor grill or use a grill pan. Remove them once you get good solid brown grill marks. Let them rest on a cooling rack. Meanwhile you could start melting the chocolate till it looks like a ganache. Add about 1 to 2 table spoons of milk or creme to make it smooth and easy to work with. Let this mixture cool. Grind the cereal in a mixer until you get a crumble. Now all you need is to assemble. Dip the peaches n the chocolate then in the crumble and arrange on a platter/tray. Add the sprinkles from top. Refrigerate them till the chocolate sets and hardens a little bit.
Alt Summit (Summer 2015) – Part2

Alt Summit (Summer 2015) – Part1
Hello there! I have finally put together a roundup of my trip to Alt Summit (Summer 2015) last week. There was so much I wanted to share with you guys that I thought I would break this down in two parts. Today in part 1 I’m talking about all the fun and the parties at AltSummer2015 along with a little bit about my stay in beautiful Salt Lake City. In part 2, I will be sharing a little more about the classes/talks I attended, my learnings, sources, activities and takeaways from the summit. Oh and just a heads up, there are more pictures in this post than usual but I promise they are pretty. If you’ve been following on instagram you may have seen a few. Hope you enjoy the rest!
The conference is held at the beautiful Grand America Hotel however I stayed at the The Little America Hotel right across the street since it was a bit easier on the budget and the location was very convenient too. And it did not disappoint at all. In fact it was more than I expected and it has the cutest cafe facing main street which served one of the best breakfast in town!
