Easy Iced Summer Drinks

During this warmer weather I have loved making lots of easy iced drinks, and today I wanted to share my top three favourites! These are all super easy recipes, and take a matter of minutes to make.

Fruity Colada Smoothie (non-alcoholic)

This has been my all time favourite smoothie to make, and it tastes like something you’d get on holiday!

Ingredients:

• 1 fresh apple
• handful of frozen pineapple
• handful of frozen strawberries
• handful fresh orange juice
• 1 small pot of coconut yoghurt (alpro is my favourite!)

Simple pop all of these into a blender, and voila! I personally use the bullet blender and put the above amount of each ingredient in, which then perfectly serves 1 smoothie.

Iced Chocolate Shake

My all time favourite evening treat… a rich chocolate shake. If you have a velvetier from Hotel Chocolat like me, this is super easy! If not, ill explain the process below!

Ingredients:

• Milk (I use almond milk)
• chocolate
• Ice

1. (if you have a velvetier simply make half a hot chocolate in the machine). Place a saucepan on the hob, and melt 50g of chocolate over a double boiler.
2. Once the chocolate has nearly melted pour 100ml of milk into the bowl of chocolate and stir.
3. Then take off the heat, and leave to the side for a minute.
4. Next fill up your desired glass with ice, and then simple pour your chocolate mix over the ice.
5. Fill the rest of the glass up with cold milk, stir, and enjoy!

Iced Coffee

This has to be the easiest recipe of them all… plus we all need a quick shot of caffeine in the afternoon, right?

Ingredients:

• shot of espresso
• milk (I prefer almond milk)
• Ice

Simply make a shot of espresso, pour over ice in a glass, and fill the rest of the glass with milk. Give it a quick stir, and you’re ready to go!
