1 small banana, 1 measure lemon juice, 1 measure full-fat milk, crushed ice, 1 teaspoon finely chopped walnuts.

A. smoothie:


1 cup mango juice, 1 cup orange juice, 6 strawberries, stems removed, 1 banana, ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1 (8-ounce) container of lemon yoghurt.

Place ingredients in a blender cup, blend until smooth and serve.


Tip:










If you want to prevent your bananas from going brown, simply place them into a bowl & cover with Lemon Juice or Unsweetened Pineapple Juice for 2-3 minutes. This doesn't affect the taste in any way.
