I believe in healthy eating on a daily basis – less salt intake, use olive oil, less sugar intake, avoid deep-frying food possible.. etc. Thus, a bowl of vegs and fruits brings more good than harm and it doesn’t take a lot of time to prepare.   There are times where I want to have my food quick yet it has be to good.

Yes, I made a drink that’s from South of France! It’s very easy to make this drink. All you need are Ricard, almond syrup, water, and ice cubes.
