8 fresh and tasty smoothie recipes

continued from page 2
Blackcurrant and Blueberry
Almost black in colour, this duo gives a good hit of vitamin C, plus valuable antioxidants. If you want to liven things up, a little Cassis will bring out the flavour of the blackcurrants and provide an alcoholic kick. Add some crushed ice to the blender and you will have the perfect drink for a hot afternoon. A touch of honey or sugar will offset any tartness in the fruit.

Makes 2 glasses

250g fresh blackcurrants
125g fresh blueberries
15ml crème de cassis
crushed ice, or 5-6 ice cubes
1 tsp honey or sugar (optional)

  1. Blend all the ingredients together until smooth.
  2. Serve immediately.

Gooseberry, Elderflower Cordial and Yoghurt
Gooseberries and elderflowers partner each other extremely well and, as gooseberries can be rather sour, the elderflower cordial adds sweetness.Once you have blended in the yoghurt, the whole is rather like gooseberryfool in a glass – very moreish!

Makes 2-3 glasses

300g fresh, ripe gooseberries
15ml elderflower cordial
300ml low-fat natural yoghurt or Greek yoghurt

  1. Blend all the ingredients until smooth.
  2. Serve immediately.
