Fruit Salad/ Smoothies

Currently I am trying to loose weight as we are going to attend a family wedding in late August. This has consisted of trying to eat healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables. 

I have been trying out different fruit salad options. The key is to go with simple flavours that compliment each other well. To prevent any of the fruits from going brown you could pour some water and little bit of lemon juice over or pour a little bit of orange juice over.  Here are some of my favourite fruit salads:
  1. Dried Cranberries, Blueberries and Grapes
  2. Orange Segments, Peach and Goji Berries
  3. Apples, Pears, and Banana
  4. Strawberries, Apples and Raspberries
  5. Grapes, Apples, Strawberries and Red currants. 
With Smoothies I have found simple flavours are key and very tasty:
  1. Banana, Strawberries, Greek Yogurt and Blueberries
  2. Passion fruit, Peach, Orange and Yogurt (and a bit of sugar if needed)
  3. Orange, Peach, Cranberries, Raspberries and Ice
  4. Banana, Mango and Greek Yogurt
  5. Peach, Raspberries, Orange Juice and Plain Yogurt
These are my favourite smoothies that you can make at home. If not healthy smoothies are available to buy at different supermarkets. Making them at home would mean you exactly what has gone in them and you can personalise them to suit your individual tastes.
