I’m simply hopeless at eating pieces of fruit: I always forget (or go for the biscuit tin instead!) so I started making smoothies to try to pack in my 5-a-day.  Of course Lentil was fascinated with mummy’s new drink, especially when he saw me sprinkle granola on top, and wanted some too.  Great as a mid-morning snack or dessert for little ones.  This will only take you about 5 minutes too!

Makes one large glass or a medium and a lentil-sized glass.

The what:

30g blueberries

1 banana, peeled and sliced

1 kiwi, peeled and sliced

60ml / 4 tbsp natural greek style yoghurt

1/2 tsp vanilla essence / 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

granola to sprinkle on top (optional)

The how:

Blend the blueberries, banana and kiwi using a blender (a hand-held one will do).  Next add the yoghurt and vanilla and blend again until you have a smooth liquid.  Poor into a glass and sprinkle with granola.
