It's Summer time in the Philippines!

Summer is filling the air. It's hot and humid. Wishing one can take a plunge to a nearby swimming pool or lake. Aside from that, drinking ice cold refreshments is one of the remedy to remove the heat feeling. Halo-halo is one of the prefect refreshments on the summer days here it has lots of ingredients in it like banana foster, topped with scoops of ice cream, coconut gel (nata de coco), coconut string, sweet ube, leche flan, sweet beans, palm fruit and jackfruit. All of these are packed beneath crushed ice and poured milk on it. Refreshing!



Aside from halo-halo and ofcourse wide variety of ice creams, for those health conscious but wants to refresh themselves, I suggest that you make yourselves fruit shakes or smoothies. When I have time or if there is a fruit available in the fridge, I make myself fruit shakes. You can turn one kind of fruit into a fruit shake by just using a blender and add milk and suger (if you prefer it to be sweet). But I always prefer two fruits in one fruit shake. What I observed is that not all fruits you can turn into a fruit shake. So here are the list you can use if you wish to make a fruit shake at your own home.




What are you waiting for, keep yourselves cool and prevent from dehydrating. Don't forget to put sunblock when you get out into the sun. Sunblock with SPF30 is the better than SPF15. It's best not to go anywhere between 10am to 4pm if you are not suppose to be going somewhere. Wear clothes that feels comfy to you and go to places well ventilated. Drink lots and lots of water. Keep it cool!
