Fresh Fruit Salad-

Smoothies-

For a fresh fruit smoothie, all you need is a blender, fruit juice, fresh fruit, besides ingredients like yogurt, protein powder or dried fruit. First, pour 350 ml orange, apple or pineapple juice into the blender. Add 115g roughly chopped fresh fruit. Add 3 tbsp of yogurt, a few dates and a spoonful of raisins to the mix. Blend until thoroughly mixed, and drink.

For one serving, mix two eggs with a spoonful of milk or cream. Whisk together until blended. Melt a little butter in a frying pan, dip a piece of bread in the egg mixture, making sure both sides are covered by the mix, and fry until set. Turn over and cook the other side until set and light golden brown. Top with fresh fruit, poached fruit or berries.
