If you have your own juicing machine or blender you can make your own healthy fruit juices or smoothies quickly and easily – it’s fun experimenting with different flavor combinations and a great way of getting your recommended daily allowance of nutrients.

If you are using a juicing machine, it will extract the juice and leave the pulp.  If you are using a blender, it will use the whole of the fruit (no pulp left behind) so you get the full nutrient benefit including the fiber.

Remember if you’re using a blender to add liquid to the recipes – you can add water, milk or yogurt to make the drink into a smoothie – just add more liquid for a runnier drink or less liquid for a thicker consistency.


Useful tips:

·         Use fruit at its ripest for the best flavors & nutrient extract.
·         For an extra twist, try adding a touch of lemon, lime or mint.
·         With smoothies, try adding milk or yogurt to take away the sharpness of some fruits.


Here are some simple juice/smoothie recipe examples to help get you started – feel free to adapt them to suit your own tastes:

Banana-based Smoothie Recipes to Help Boost your Energy Levels

Bananas are a great fruit to add to your home-made smoothie drinks.  Bananas are packed with nutrients, including fibre, vitamins, minerals, and most importantly carbohydrates which are needed if you wish to boost your energy levels.

Bananas are considered to be low GI foods - the low glycemic carbohydrates in bananas make them a popular choice for endurance athletes for example, helping them to keep up their energy levels over long periods of exercise.

Bananas provide the following nutrients:

·         Vitamin B6
·         Manganese
·         Vitamin C
·         Potassium
·         Fibre
·         Copper
·         Biotin

Smoothies are easy to make – just chop up or slice your ingredients, throw into a blender and add juice, milk or yogurt for a delicious nutritional drink (or even as a meal replacement)!
Here are some simple banana-based smoothie recipe ideas for you to try.  Don’t be afraid to experiment – try adding more of your favorite fruits or swapping dairy milk/yogurt for soya or nut-based milk/yogurt.  These are just ideas to get you started – once you’ve tried some recipes, you’ll feel confident to start making up your own!
