• The flesh from half a large mango or one smaller
• A handful of raspberries
• One orange, peeled and quartered
• Half a banana
• A splash of apple juice from a carton to get the whole lot going (or if you want to dirty your juicer, the juice from one apple)

Dump the lot into your blender goblet and blend until, er, smooth!

After the doc said he couldn’t do anything to help me, I embarked on a course of Organically produced stuff for boosting my immune system, a rigorous regime of smoothies and a general upping in the quality of food I’ve been eating. I’m glad to say that I’m feeling much better, although I haven’t quite got all my energy back.

Anyway, I thought I’d share some of the smoothie recipes I’ve been playing with:

Pomegranate & Raspberry Smoothie

• 2 pomegranates
• 1/3 punnet raspberries
• 1 apple
• 1 orange
• 1/2 banana

Cut the pomegranates in half and squeeze in a citrus squeezer. Squeeze the orange. Juice the apple.

Put the juices in a blender with the banana and whizz.
