Ingredients (serves 2)
- 1 Small Banana
- ½ Cup of Berries e.g. Raspberries or Strawberries
- 175ml Semi Skimmed Milk (chilled)
- 100ml Fruit Juice
Method
- Peel and slice the banana.
- Place all ingredients in a blender, liquidiser or smoothie maker.
- Blend till smooth, serve immediately.
- Experiment with a combination of fruit to your taste
- Recommended to include bananas as this prevents the mixture from splitting or having a curdling appearance
- Natural yoghurt may be added for a creamier effect
- Avoid adding ice cream as this will be adding extra calories
- Smoothies are not recommended as a snack and should be consumed as part of a meal – see oral health section
- Smoothies count as only one of your 5 portions of fruit and vegetables regardless of the quantity of fruit you include, this is due to the blending process removing a lot of the fibre
