1 banana
handful of strawberries
non-dairy version

Tips
Smoothies are a good way of getting some of your five portions of fruit and veg a day. Children also like making and drinking them. Banana is good to include as it thickens the smoothie, but you can use lots of other types of fruit - berries, kiwis, pineapples, peaches, pears, nectarines etc.
You can use canned and frozen fruit too - it doesn't have to be fresh. If you are using canned, drain the fruit first unless it's in a fruit juice, in which case you might like to add that too.
For the non-dairy version, you can experiment using different fruit juices - apple, pineapple, cranberry etc. The fruit juice counts towards one of your portions of fruit and veg.
