Craft Your Own Cookie

Are these not the sweetest thing you ever did see!? I was shopping one morning and came across these cookie crafting kits and just had to buy a couple to try and thought this would be great for a blog, as it can be done with store-bought kits or you could even make your own!

The kit comes with 4 cookies, 3 tubes of icing and a little bag of sprinkles to decorate with. This would be great for the kids, whether it be for a party or just for an evening of fun and yums!

The tubes of icing remind me of those drinks you could buy in the ’90s that you twist off the plastic bit and you drink from the top. Nice little wave of nostalgia there.

There’s really not much to it, but to follow the concave lines with the different coloured icing and fill in as you go. This part is actually quite difficult if you don’t have a steady hand, see below. The good part about this craft is even if it doesn’t win any beauty contests, it’s still going to taste yummy, and that’s most definitely a win in my books. 😀

I did a couple and I gotta say, I really cannot quit my day job, lol. My bee looks like one of the new bees in the hive that nobody likes yet due to her physical differences, and her name would be Piccolo. The other looks like it could be a flower, a seashell or a dystopian sun; I haven’t quite made up my mind on that one yet.

However, I had fun putting them together. It was like colouring a picture but with yummier contents. Try it!

A quick, creamy breakfast with fresh fruit added on top

Smoothie bowls are one of those beautiful breakfasts that feel healthy and a little indulgent at the same time. Thick, cold, creamy, and pretty enough that you almost don’t want to eat them… almost.

The Ninja Slushie Maker takes all the effort out of it.
Instead of dealing with frozen fruit bricks or blenders that complain loudly, you simply mix your yoghurt base, chill it, and let the Ninja turn it into the perfect thick smoothie-bowl texture — no ice required.

If you are like me and come addicted to these smoothie bowls then you will want to invest in these double walled bowls, this is my favorite brand and these have been great.

Then you top it with your fresh fruit afterwards so the bowl stays thick, cold, and spoon-worthy.

It’s easy, quick, and a lovely way to start the day.

Why Yoghurt Works So Well in the Ninja Slushie Maker

Yoghurt freezes into a silky, firm slush — similar to soft-serve but healthier and lighter. Because the machine creates the icy texture itself (instead of relying on ice cubes), the mixture never becomes watery or gritty.

Just smooth, cold, creamy perfection you can decorate to your heart’s content.

The Basic Yoghurt Slush Base

Once you learn this base recipe, you can create endless flavour combinations.

Ingredients

2 cups plain or Greek yoghurt, chilled
½–1 cup milk of your choice (just enough to loosen the mixture)
1–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Method

Stir all ingredients together until smooth.
Chill the mixture in the fridge until very cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into the Ninja Slushie Maker.
Blend on the slush setting until thick, creamy, and icy.
Spoon into a bowl and add your fruit and toppings.

This base has enough body to hold granola, berries, and nut butter without sinking.

Easy Flavour Variations

Berries & Cream Smoothie Bowl

Tropical Coconut Bowl

Add a splash of coconut milk to the base. Top with mango, pineapple, kiwi, and toasted coconut flakes.

Chocolate Yoghurt Bowl

Mix 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder into the base. Top with banana slices and a peanut-butter drizzle.

Meal-Prep Tip

Prepare the yoghurt base the night before and store it in small jars.
In the morning, just pour one jar directly into the Ninja Slushie Maker and you’ve got a thick, cold, ready-to-top breakfast in minutes.
