Good to know

Tips

Peel and slice over-ripe bananas and freeze them in a bag: they make smoothies thick and naturally sweet.

Common mistakes

Putting frozen fruit in first with the liquid on top, which stalls the blender.

Food safety

Blended fruit keeps its natural sugars; a smoothie is more filling than juice because the fibre stays in.

Storage

Best immediately; keeps a few hours in the fridge (stir or re-blend).
