Flat Peaches! They are also called Saturn peaches and donut peaches (they are shaped and sized very similar to donuts-that just makes them even cuter). I first saw these peaches last year at Whole Foods in London and I just thought they were really beautiful. I didn’t see them again anywhere, until I randomly bumped into them at a grocery store in Athens. I was so excited that I found them again and got loads.
This kind of peach is white fleshed and sweeter than regular peaches (Somewhere between a regular peach and a donut, hehe). Eating one of these peaches will definitely make you smile.
I think they kinda look like fuzzy hearts as well. Maybe I should name them fuzzy heart peaches! Hopefully it will catch on 
How’s your summer rolling everyone? Mine has been pretty good, filled with friends, yoga, fruit, sea and sand !
I just came back from a camping trip in Gaidouronissi, a small almost-deserted island under Crete, that I also went to last year. We were told that during the winter the is only 1 person living there! It is a really amazing place to go camping. The golden beach, “liquid glass”-as we named it- water, the cedar forest and the sand dunes are a breathtaking landscape. When I am there I feel completely centered and grounded.
I wish you a summer filled with good friends and shoes filled with sand from magic places. And do some cartwheels or bridge poses on the sand while you are at it.

You guys must think that all I eat these days is ice cream. Well, that’s not true, I still eat my green salad everyday and a few other things, but for some reason every recipe I create for the blog turns into an ice-cream. I hope you are enjoying the ice cream spiral I’m on. Today’s ice cream is soft-serve frozen yogurt, destined to cool you off.
I remember when I discovered frozen yogurt. It was about 9 years ago- There was a shop in Plaka making delicious frozen yogurt! You had a choice of frozen fruit that they would blend for you with plain non-fat frozen yogurt! I was obsessed with it and always got the same flavor : fruits of the forest. I loved the tart taste and the fact that t was sugar free!
Flash forward 9 years later, I got a craving for that ice cream. But I don’t eat dairy anymore and that shop is probably gone. Since I had some raw coconut yogurt I made they other day and my freezer is overflowing with froen strawberries, I decided to try making some frozen yogurt!
It came out delicious and it’s really simple to make, so you won’t break a sweat while preparing this.
Ingredients (Serves 2)
-1 cup whole frozen strawberries
-3/4 cup chilled young coconut yogurt (click on the link to get the recipe)*
Blend the ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth and serve immediately.
*Now that its summertime and it’s warm, to make the yogurt just put the mixture in a bowl covered with a clean towel on your kitchen counter and leave it there to ferment for a fews hours (about 4-6). You need to try it every 2 hours to check how sour you want it to be, so it doesn’t turn out too sour.

Today was a good day. I spent it with my friends, making food, eating, laughing, dreaming and generally having fun. I made us this juice and it turned out to be very refreshing! My current obsession is fresh sour cherries-I eat them raw as a snack because how tart they taste! Traditionally in Greece we make a sour cherry juice, which is sweetened with sugar and it’s ultra-sweet. I thought to use watermelon to sweeten it, and it worked like a charm. You won’t miss the sugar in this-and you will stay hydrated.
I also made some raw chocolate with Maria, and we put half of a sour cherry in each chocolate center-so good, seriously. The sour cherry in the middle was a life-changing experience So if you have fresh sour cherries, make sure you try this! Just let the chocolate set in the fridge, not the freezer so that the centers stay juicy 
Sweet & Sour Cooler
-1 small watermelon
-2 cups sour cherries
-1/2 cup ice
In a juicer juice all the fruits and combine. You can also use a blender and then strain, but first you will have to pit the cherries. Add ice and serve!

More frozen treats! For some reason I cannot stop making them. My freezer is literally overflowing with ice pops, but I got this very pretty ice molds as a gift for my birthday and I couldn’t not try them out. So I chopped up a cup of sweet fresh pineapple, blended it until smooth and poured it in. I also added a bit of stevia-sweetened coconut milk to make a pina colada pop.
Pineapple makes the best ice pops. The texture is soft like a sorbet for some reason, and very sweet yet with no sugar added. Also the flavor will instantly transfer you at a tropical beach. (Well I wish, but this is as close as it gets for now)
Celebrate summer!
