My Favourite Fruit Smoothie


In the warmer months I can never resist making this delicious smoothie for a quick and healthy breakfast or snack. It takes no time at all to make and is a huge hit with everyone in the family and of course is super healthy – I love it! By using frozen berries (which you can buy year round) you get a wonderfully thick almost sorbet like smoothie that is icy cold and really refreshing as well as completely satisfying. You just can't go wrong with this!

Serves 2-3 happily {easily doubled}

2 cups frozen mixed berries* (such as strawberries; raspberries; blackberries & blueberries)
1 cup frozen or fresh mango, cubes
1 banana
½ cup fruit juice
½ cup plain natural yogurt

Simply put all of the ingredients into a blender and whizz up until smooth and everything is well mixed, then pour into glasses and enjoy. That easy!

*If you have fresh fruit by all means use that, just add some ice to the blender when you add all of the other ingredients.

  2. Oh that looks so delicious!! Buy big, cube and freeze? Like the sound of that. My favourite is much plainer - Banana, Pear & Yoghurt, often with grape but just the other day I added melon (which I never normally like) and it was wonderful.

  6. This is just my kind of snack and breakfast. I actually prefer the frozen because of the coldness and added texture.

  8. Ooohh! This smoothie is a great way for you to start your day! It looks delicious and healthy with its mixed berries and mango. Since berries have antioxidants, you will get a healthy dose of immunity boosters for your active everyday life. This recipe is also easy to do, so you don’t have to spend too much time preparing for it! :-)
