Fruity Fun
3 peaches, stoned and cut into quarters
3 plums, stoned and cut in half
3 ripe pears, cored and roughly chopped
1 handful blueberries
Tip: It is really up to you whether or not you peel the fruit. If you’re using organic fruits then it’s a good idea to leave the peel on as it contains lots of vitamins and nutrients. If you’re using non-organic fruits, then it may be best to peel them before using.
Blend the peaches, plums and pears until smooth. Divide the berries between two glasses and pour the smoothie over the berries. Yum!
Fruit Facts:
Peaches are a good source of vitamin C and are great for removing toxins from the body.
Plums are rich in bromelain, which can help the body digest protein. Plums also provide a good source of antioxidants.
Pears are a great source of vitamin C and copper, antioxidants which protect the body from the damage caused by free radicals, great anti-aging food!
Blueberries provide a good source of zinc and antioxidants.
