great
smoothie recipes| "Smoothies are a great
way to increase the amount of fruit in your diet" says Josephine Beach,
MD of Fruit Factory™. "There are also many claims
that some fruits are superior to others, but ALL fruit is super!! Did you
know that just a 150ml serving of 100% pure fruit juice or smoothie made with
ANY fruit whether it is fresh, frozen, concentrated, chilled or canned counts
towards 1 of your 5 a day full fruit portions?"
So go on, get blending! Here are just a few recipes to get you started. Send us your favourite recipe and we could post it here. •• berry blast smoothie •• Serves 2 or 1 generously This low fat dairy smoothie drink is perfect as lunch on the go! - 1 small banana - 100gms of frozen berries 150gm - pot of low-fat yogurt, (strawberry) - 200 ml skimmed milk Just pop all the ingredients in the blender and whizz for 30 seconds. Tasty berries are full of antioxidants, fibre and vitamin C, whilst the yoghurt and milk in this smoothie give you a calcium boost without any of the fat of full cream milk. •• tango mango smoothie •• Serves 2 or 1 generously The lime in this smoothie gives you that extra lift to keep you racing through the week ahead! - half a mango, peeled and cubed - squeeze half a lime - 100ml of coconut milk - small scoop of ice (optional) Blend for approx 30 seconds. Mmmm a really creamy smoothie with a hint of lime. Mangoes are a good source of Vitamin C and Vitamin A, both essential as part of a healthy balanced diet. •• banana & honey hurry hurry smoothie •• Serves 2 or 1 generously As the name suggests this is very quick and easy to make. - 2 ripe bananas - 2 dessert spoons of honey - 1/2 pint semi skimmed milk or soya/rice milk - small scoop of ice (optional) (for a creamier version swap the ice for 3 scoops of frozen yogurt) This is a really easy smoothie to make, with only 2 bananas to peel! Throw it all into a blender and whizz for 30 seconds. This is a sweet and creamy smoothie, bananas are known as a great source of potassium, good for avoiding cramps, whilst the milk gives you an extra calcium boost. |
