I'm bring the summer sunshine to you, all wrapped up in a silky smooth fruit smoothie. The key ingredient? Yes, you guessed it- nut paste.

To help summer along its way I have been eating lots of berries!  I love summer fruit.... whether it be on top of my morning porridge or cooked up in a fruity dessert. When it comes to dessert I love to drizzle my fruit with cream, leaving behind the hot custards for the winter months.
