Pinapple - Mango smoothie

Made of half a large pinapple and a large mango.

Simple but perfect! And very fullfilling ( 2 pints)

Coconut and Lychees

Made of a can of coconut milk blended with 15 lychees and a banana.

Very nice and surprisingly fresh in taste. Both the taste of coconut and the lychees was noticeable and in fact complementary.

Exotic Parfait

Made of a whole melon, a small pinapple, a large mango and three passion fruits.

Just perfect in terms of texture and taste ( sweet, fresh and smooth on the tongue)

Exotic Supreme

Made of a small pinapple, a banana, 3 kiwis, 5 passion fruits and the juice of a freshly squeezed lime and lemon.

I like it even though the taste of the lemon was slightly too strong. It might be even better with the juice of an orange instead of a lemon.

Fruit content: Banana

Bananas are high in potassium and easily digested ( hence the sailors' saying that they go up your body as quickly as they went down :-))

Fruit content info: Orange

Oranges are rich in minerals and vitamins including A, C and the B-Complex and thus help to cleanse and tone the gastrointestinal tract.


Besides, although orange juice is acidic in nature, it alkalises the bloodstream, tones blood vessels and prevents brain fatigue. It is in fact highly recommended by many nutritionists as an energy aid because of the natural sugar content.

Fruit contents Info: Mango

Mango is extremely high in vitamins A, C, magnesium, calcium and potassium, rich in beta-carotene -an antioxidant which boosts defences and prevents free radical damage, which in itself reduces the risk of certain cancers.

Fruit contents Info: Apple

Apples are are a good source of vitamin C (an antioxidant which helps to maintain the immune system), and rich in iron and high mineral content ( which makes apple juice especially useful to hair, skin and nails and stimulates muscles and nerves)

Summery and Tasty

Half a melon, 1 banana and 8 passion fruits.

Very tasty, smooth, fresh, sweet and full to the tongue :-) What else could you ask for?? :-)

Juicy and tasty

2 freshly squeeze orange juice, 1 banana and 4 passion fruits.

This tasted extremely good, especially as the flavour of all the fruits was noticeable. A definite recommendation, however more a juice than a smoothie. Maybe an extra banana (not sure)would have made of this a smoothie :-)

Fresh and Sweet

Half a melon, 1 banana, 4 passion fruits

This made a very fresh and sweet smoothie, even though once again it was almost impossible to taste the passion fruits

Smooth Parfait

Half a melon, 1 kiwi, 4 passion fruits and a banana.

Nice, even though, it was difficult to taste the passion fruits.

Thick and Strange (Part 2)

I did the same smoothie again and even though the flavour slightly improved, I cannot say I am convinced by the combination. It does definitely have a strange taste!!!

Friday, June 09, 2006

Thick and Strange

A banana, 2 papayas, 2 freshly squeeze oranges and 3 passion fruits.

As mentioned above this smoothie had a strange taste, i.e. slightly unidentifiable. and very difficult to recognise the taste of any of the fruits used to make it. I might have a go at varying the proportion tomorrow to see whether it does change the taste.
