Concoct refreshing beverages in the blender, combining assorted fruit (blueberries, raspberries, banana) with milk, eggnog or flavoured soy milk (vanilla, almond). If you wish, add fruit juice, some yogurt or a few drops of liquor like rum. For champagne lovers, mix fresh fruits like strawberries and blackberries with the bubbly. Finally, flavour espresso with a pinch and a stick of cinnamon. Stick a vanilla bean in the café au lait for heavenly aroma and taste. Check out the following on metro.ca:
