Tips

  • Using reduced-fat milk and yoghurt reduces your saturated fat intake.
  • Milk and yoghurt are a source of calcium. Calcium is necessary for strong bones and teeth.
  • Making your own smoothies allows you to control the ingredients to make them as healthy as possible.

  • Freeze bananas or mangoes that are getting too ripe. These can be used straight from the freezer.  
  • Leftover smoothie mix can be frozen in ice cream moulds – kids love these! 
  • This is a good recipe for using up bananas that are getting too ripe. Riper bananas provide extra sweetness. 

  • Using frozen berries instead of fresh can reduce the cost.  
  • Choose fruit that is in season as it will be cheaper.
  • Buying in bulk can help save money in the long run. A larger packet of frozen berries may be cheaper per 100g.

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
