With Spring in full force (although with fairness last week felt like Summer!) I have been enjoying a lot more smoothies, especially since I have recently re-joined the gym. It's a great way to start my day or to give me an energy boost mid afternoon before or after working out. Even better my son loves it and not that I need any help getting him to eat fruit, if you have a fussy fruit eater in your family I am sure they will love this.
Makes
2 glasses (easily doubled)
1 cup
of frozen mango cubes
1 full (slightly overflowing!) cup
of strawberries, hulled
¼
pineapple, peeled
1 pot
of yogurt (100g approx)*
Splash
of milk (optional)
Put
the mango cubes into a blender and leave to soften slightly while you
cup up the other fruit, then add the strawberries and pineapple to
the blender along with the yogurt. I tend to half fill my pot of
yogurt with the milk and swish it around a bit to get the last of the
yogurt before adding it to the blender. Blitz until smooth then serve
while thick and creamy and icy cold.
Note:
If you
don't have frozen mango cubes add a few ice cubes to the blended when
you blitz it to make it nice and frosty cold.
Variation:
If you don't like/ have allergies to Mango or simply can't get any you can replace it with 1 large banana instead, just don't forget the ice!
