Exotic Smoothie

Smoothies are simple to make but soooo refreshing not to mention healthy. This is only one variant. You can add almost any fruit you want and soon you will have taken your six pieces of fruit and veg a day.

Ingredients: 2 bananas, 1/2 ripe and sweet pineapple, orange juice, one ripe papaya (mine was advertised as riped on the tree and not on the journey. It was very ripe and tasty indeed).

Cut the ends off the papaya, peel the skin off with a potato peeler.

Cut in half lenghtwise and deseed using a spoon. Cut into chunks and put them in blender.

Cut the pineapple in half, remove the outer skin.

Cut in chunks, leaving out the hard centre.

Peel the bananas and add them to the blender. Pour over some orange juice. Add some ice cubes for extra refreshing drink. Blend till smooth.

Serve ice cold, for example with some crushed ice. By adding a bit of orange juice on to you create a two coloured cool tropical drink.
