Juicy Ingredients

  • 1/4 small pineapple - you can juice with the skin on, but give it a very good wash
  • 1 apple
  • 1/4 banana
  • 200g natural organic yogurt - if you're a juicy vegan, then simply use soya yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of spirulina

Juicy Instructions

  • Simply juice the pineapple and apple
  • Pour into a blender / smoothie maker along with the banana, yogurt and spirulina.
  • Blend until smooth

This will make more than an 8oz glass, drink what you want and when you are comfortably full put the rest in a flask or - as Sesame Street taught us - share!

Why this is good for you

This is a beautiful smooth and creamy smoothie because of the yogurt that goes into it, and the yogurt provides the body with calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth, as well as maintaining healthy nerve functions.

The bananas provide an incredible source of slow-release energy, as well as being rich in potassium. This helps promote muscle and nerve function as well as controlling blood pressure.

Iron is one of the most common mineral deficiencies found in humans and this fantastic juice is abundant in it - thanks to the spirulina. It is also rich in magnesium and trace minerals, as well as being one of the highest natural sources of B12.
