This is one bright and colourful way to help you get your five serves a day. This recipe is an extract from Unicorn Food by Sandra Mahut (Murdoch Books RRP $19.99).

5 strawberries
3 bananas
A few raspberries
50g other berries
50g blueberries or blackberries (or acai powder)
1 kiwifruit
½ mango
100ml pineapple juice
250g Greek-style yoghurt
½ dragon fruit
Edible decorations

Method

1.

The day before, cut up and freeze all the fruits in plastic bags (or use already frozen fruits).
2.

At serving time, blend the strawberries, 2 tablespoons of banana, 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice and 2 tablespoons Greek yoghurt in a blender, then pour into a large glass or jar. Repeat the process with the same quantity of banana, yoghurt and pineapple juice, each time adding, in turn, the frozen raspberries and other berries, blueberries, kiwifruit and the mango, to make several layers of colour.
3.

Finish by decorating the smoothie, adding a pretty straw and a slice of dragon fruit cut into a star, or a few blueberries.
4.

Serve immediately or screw on the lid of the jar to take to the office or a picnic.
