It may come as a surprise that chocolate has made it into a recipe for the little ones, but the only chocolate used here is over 80 per cent cocoa. It is also organic and fairtrade (the most important aspect). The incredible amount of goodness found in the combination of fresh banana, orange, pineapple and live yogurt more than quash any negative effect the chocolate may have, and if it’s the only way the little chaps will consume fruit then it’s all for the greater good.

1 orange (peeled, but leave on the white pith) 1 inch thick slice of a medium pineapple 4 pieces organic chocolate (use fairtrade, above 80 per cent cocoa solids) ½ banana (fairtrade if possible) 3 tablespoons low-fat live yogurt ice

Juice the orange and pineapple. Grate chocolate into the blender (mind your fingers!) and add banana, yogurt, juice and ice. Blend everything until smooth – soooooooooo tasty!

Look what’s in it! Friendly bacteria, calcium, vitamins A, B6 and C, sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, folic acid, phosphorus, zinc, beta-carotene, fibre, natural sugars, amino acids and anti-oxidants.

How will it juice the little ones? Live yogurt helps replenish the friendly bacteria in the gut, helping to prevent any overgrowth of yeast. Calcium helps neutralize an acidic system and is, of course, good for the bones and teeth. The juice contains nature’s natural balance of sodium and potassium, one the key factors to good health, and even the dark chocolate contains some anti-oxidants. This is an extremely balanced smoothie that tastes naughty but is still extremely good for your kids.
