Smoothies are the most fantastic way of making sure that even a reluctant eater starts the day with a good percentage of their recommended daily intake of fresh fruit inside them. There are no hard-and-fast rules about what makes a good smoothie (although you will obviously need a liquidizer), but the ones I’ve included here always seem to go down well with my lot.

These are the combinations of fruit I often use, but you can vary the quantities according to your needs (and the contents of your fruit bowl).

Mango mania

1 mango

1 banana (preferably ripe)

orange juice

Berry blast

1 cup frozen berries

1 mango

orange juice

Green monkey

4 kiwis

1 banana (preferably ripe)

apple juice

1 Wash, peel and roughly chop the fruit.

2 Put into a blender and pour over enough juice to cover the fruit.

3 Blend until smooth. Enjoy!

Tips

• You can of course make your own fresh orange or apple juice, but I always ‘cheat’ by using a good-quality fresh fruit juice as a base. It’s much easier and quicker.

• I find it incredibly useful to keep a bag of frozen berries in the freezer just for making smoothies.
