Pine and Melon Smoothies
May 16, 2011 in Uncategorized
Hello everybody,
After my last rendezvous into the world of smoothies I was keen to try another flavour combination with winter seasonal fruits. Smoothies are also a fun way to get my little one to increase his consumption of fruits. I settled on the combination of pineapples and sweet honeydew melons, a bit unusual but so refreshing on the palate. My husband insisted on adding a scoop of ice cream to his serving, you may add some if you want to make your smoothie extra indulgent. You can also jazz this smoothie up a bit by adding coconut milk morphing it into pina colada smoothie to brighten up those dreary winter mornings 
Melon and Pine Smoothies:
½ Honeydew melon peeled and sliced
1 medium sized pineapple peeled, cored and cut into pieces
1 cup vanilla yougurt or vanilla ice cream or 1 cup coconut milk
1 orange
1 tsp ground almonds
Combine all ingredients in the jug of the smoothie maker. Squeeze the orange juice over an blend till smooth.
Serve and enjoy!
Pineapple Fruit Facts:
A pineapple can also be a fun way to enjoy your Vitamin C for the day. Just one cup of this nutritious fruit contains almost a complete day’s requirement of both Vitamin C and Manganese. These natural health energizers may help boost your immune system, soothe an irritable digestive tract, and fight off colds.
Pineapples also contain many enzymes that assist your digestion. Pineapple nutrition gurus point out that one of these enzymes, Bromelain, is valued for its anti-inflammatory ability. If you have sore joints you will be doing a good deed for your body by adding pineapple to your diet. This enzyme will work to reverse the inflammation that is bothering you.

Great idea to get little ones to eat more fruit

I had a smoothie for breakfast this morning because for some reason my body can’t tolerate eating yogurt any more which ends up in me not eating my yogurt and fruit and by lunch time I’m so hungry that I could eat a cow.
This smoothie looks really yummy.
