Summer might not be over just yet, but August always brings that familiar shift back towards routine. Holidays are winding down, diaries are filling up again and September suddenly doesn't feel very far away.
Whether you're heading back to work, getting ready for the school run or simply trying to bring a little more routine back to your days, we've put together a few easy ways to make those everyday moments a little sweeter.
And the best part? They all take next to no time.
Rocky Road Porridge Topper
If porridge is your go-to on busy mornings, switch up your usual toppings with a little Lazy Day Rocky Road.
Simply chop or crumble a piece over a warm bowl of porridge for a combination of Belgian dark chocolate, biscuit pieces, marshmallows and cherries. Add your favourite fruit on top and breakfast is sorted.
You can do the same with a yoghurt bowl too. Add fruit, some crumbled pieces of Rocky Road and you've got an easy breakfast or mid-morning snack with a little extra crunch.
Mini Vic After-School Treat
Back-to-school afternoons can be busy, so sometimes the easiest treats are the best ones.
Our Mini Vic the Vegan Caterpillar Cakes are perfectly portioned for an after-school treat. Serve one alongside some fresh fruit for a quick snack when everyone gets home, with no preparation needed.
And let's be honest, everything is a little more fun when there's a mini caterpillar cake involved.
Caramel Blondie + Iced Coffee
Getting back into routine doesn't mean iced coffee season has to end!
When the afternoon slump arrives, pair a Lazy Day Caramel Blondie with your favourite iced coffee for an easy little pick-me-up.
With a layer of caramel and packed with biscuit pieces, cherries and marshmallows, our Blondie makes a particularly good partner for an iced caramel latte.
The perfect excuse to actually take that afternoon break.
Tiffin Ice Cream Topper
After a busy day, dessert doesn't need to involve lots of preparation.
Scoop your favourite ice cream into a bowl, chop up some Lazy Day Chocolate Tiffin and sprinkle it over the top. You could add berries or your favourite sauce too!
It's a simple way to turn a couple of scoops of ice cream into a much more indulgent dessert in minutes.
Make Busy Days a Little Sweeter
Getting back into routine can mean earlier mornings, busier schedules and a lot more rushing around, but there are still plenty of opportunities to fit a little treat into your day.
From Rocky Road-topped porridge in the morning to Tiffin and ice cream after dinner, sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.
However your routine looks, don't forget to leave a little room for a Lazy Day.
