Pineapple and Melon Smoothie (with banana)

This classic fruit smoothie will replenish your vitamin levels and give you a healthy energy boost to boot.

  • 1/2 a melon, chopped up
  • continued below ....

  • 4 pineapple slices (fresh or tinned rings is fine)
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 3 tablespoons of natural yogurt

Blend all the ingredients. Add extra pineapple juice if too thick.

Pineapple is a good source of manganese, vitamin C and vitamin B1. Pineapples contain an enzyme that breaks down protein, so it is not wise to consume too many pineapples if you are on a high protein diet. However the enzyme is destroyed in the canning process, so for bodybuilders and athletes, canned pineapple may actually be healthier for you than fresh!
