- 4 to 6 ounces of milk or any other dairy substitute
- 1 banana cut into pieces

- A handful of small ice cubes
Optional: To additionally add to the taste and lively color, add one or two strawberries, raspberries, or other fruit you feel would fit.
- Rosemary, garlic & chili popcorn. One of our favorites! Popcorns are perfect snack itself, but when you add some more unusual taste, you get that "wow" effect…
Ingredients:
- 2 table spoons of rapeseed oil
- 2 garlic cloves (lightly bashed)
- 1 table spoon of chili pepper
- Finely chopped small bunch of rosemary
- Popcorn kernels (around 150g)
It takes only 2 simple steps. Heat the oil in a saucepan on a medium heat, fry the garlic, chili, and rosemary in it for 2-3min. When done, leave it for 30min for the oil to infuse the taste. After 30min remove the garlic from the oil (it was there only for aroma, it shouldn't be used anymore). Prepare the popcorns as you usually do (or as suggested on the pack), ideally use a popcorn maker machine so you more free time. When finished, season the popcorns with the rosemary-garlic-chili oil and serve straightaway.
Keep in mind that these recipes don't have to be followed to the detail! It is understandable that you might not have all the ingredients…but that's where your creativity comes in place.
