I love smoothies, because you can make them with anything you like. Here’s a basic smoothie recipe which you can flavor with 2 to 3 handfuls of any chosen fruit. Or flavor it using 1 of the 3 fantastic combinations given below.
1 banana
2 to 3 large handfuls of chosen fruit
Approximately 1 pint glass ice
1/2 pint heavy cream
Place the banana and your chosen fruit into a blender and whiz for 30 seconds. Add the ice cream. Place the lid back on tightly and pulse the blender a couple of times on and off to break up the larger pieces of ice, before whizzing up to a semi-slushy milkshake consistency.
If you haven't got a blender, you can do as I have been known to do -- place the ice into a clean tea towel and bash the hell out of it with a rolling pin before stirring in the mashed fruit and the cream. It's good, but not quite as good. The 3 smoothies below can be made by following this basic recipe, using the listed ingredients as your chosen fruit.
Blackberry and Pineapple Smoothie:
2 handfuls blackberries
1 handful peeled and chopped fresh pineapple
Banana and Honey Smoothie:
1 banana
2 tablespoons honey
2 heaping tablespoons peanut butter
Raspberry and Strawberry Smoothie:
1 handful raspberries
2 handfuls strawberries
