8 fresh and tasty smoothie recipes

continued from page 3

Strawberry, Blueberry and Raspberry – Very Berry
Blending these fruits results in a fantastic deep red drink that is very lowin calories and full of energising flavours. It is best when strawberriesand raspberries are home-grown, as they have so much more taste and juice than their imported cousins. It’s also a great way of using up pick-your-ownfruit or a glut from the garden.

Makes 2-3 glasses

125g fresh, ripe strawberries
125g blueberries
125g fresh raspberries
125ml yoghurt (optional)

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

Peach, Nectarine and Apricot
Both the peaches and nectarines must be really ripe or the fruit won’tgenerate enough juice. You can, of course, peel the fruit before blending,but I prefer to leave it in – it adds fibre and pretty flecks of colour tothe smoothie. If you want to, add a few drops of almond extract to this one,as almonds and peaches have a great affinity with each other. You can also add yoghurt to this one, if you wish.

Makes 2 glasses

2 medium, ripe peaches, stone removed and sliced
2 ripe nectarines, stone removed and sliced
4 ripe apricots, stone removed and quartered
125ml yoghurt (optional)

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