It seems a bit odd to be making ice cubes in the thick of winter but these lovely, fruity iced gems are the perfect way to use-up leftover smoothie. Not only do they look delightful, they can also be used as a base for any one of my delicious smoothies. 

Simply freeze your smoothie with a few extra sprinkles of chai seed and a sprig of fresh mint and hey presto.

I have about 6 trays on the go at one time. I am a little bit obsessed with how pretty they look (not to mention their fantastic nutritional value).

I have also been experimenting with savoury cubes. Blend together ginger, coriander and garlic with a bit of coconut oil and water and freeze.
