Hooray! Spring is here! Can feel the warmth in the air and see the plants and trees smiling with colours. But, before we could realise it is spring, it becomes a hot summer day!

So, for the summer ahead, I'm pleased to announce the first ever event hosted @ chandrabhaga. The theme being "Refreshing Drinks" to welcome the season. The days are long and so, its time for shopping sprees, vacation planning, make sand castles, and for those who were staying home lazy all through the winter unlike me, its time to get fit and toned. Its a pleasant time now and with the summer ahead, i wanted you all to pour the refreshing drinks, to keep us well hydrated.

You can send entries in any of the categories below.

  • Fresh Juices (prepared by tossing one or more of the combination of fresh fruits and even some vegetables in a blender or a juicer, a zero cooking process).
  • Smoothie (a thick beverage, made with a combination of fruits, crushed ice and frozen yogurt).
  • Milkshake (a beverage made of milk, ice cream, fresh or flavoured syrup and blended or whipped until foamy, served in a tall glass topped with whip cream or a scoop of ice cream.)
It would be really refreshing if it is made with those fresh fruits available for the season. Do not use preserved ones just to make them more natural. Health conscious ??? Substitute soy milk, Herbs, Green tea or nutritional supplements if you feel smoothies have a high calorific value added up due to the sugar content from fruits, yogurt and natural sweeteners.

Rules for the event:
  • Make any of the drink specified above and post it in your blog between the time of announcement until April 30, 2009 and link back to the event.
  • If you want to send an entry that is already been posted, do re-post it with a link back to the announcement.
  • No limits. You can send in as many entries as you wish.
  • E-mail your entries to events(dot)oup(at)Gmail(dot)com (events.oup@gmail.com) with "RD FOR SUMMER" as the subject and with the following details:
    • Your Name
    • Name of your blog
    • URL of the post
    • A photo (any size) of your entry
  • Non-bloggers are welcome. Just send in the details of the entry with a picture.
  • Use logo in your post ( not a must, though).
The round-up will be just in time for the summer. Looking for your entries to fill my inbox :)
Have a great day!
