I love fresh pineapple, but can't always be bothered to peel and chop a fresh one just to make a smoothie, so I made this one with convenience ingredients. You could, of course, make it using fresh fruits too.
This smoothie is my latest invention made using my Optimum 9400 blender and smoothie maker.
Serves 1
- 1 small tin of pineapple in natural juice (approx 225g/9oz including juice)
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- ½ cup ice
Smoothie benefits: Rich in vitamin C, manganese and fibre
Smoothie tip: Smoothies containing pineapple tend to separate quite quickly if left to stand, so are best drunk straight away.

We're loving our Optimum 9400 blender and smoothie maker and using it most days. I think one of it's most positive attributes is that it's so quick and easy to clean.
This smoothie is Miss K's latest invention...
- 1 nectarine, stone removed and quartered
- 1 kiwi, skinned and quartered
- ½ cup orange juice

This is the first recipe we (well actually Miss O!) made in our new Optimum 9400 blender. It's a super-easy, but really tasty, chilled fruit smoothie...
Serves 1
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- ½ cup ice cubes
- ½ cup apple juice
Lightly crush the ice for a few seconds in the blender.
Add the remaining ingredients and blend on medium-high for 45-60 seconds).
Pour and serve.
Smoothie benefits: Rich in vitamin C, Vitamin K and fibre.
Top tips: This smoothie is quite sharp-tasting, so younger children may prefer it sweetened with a drop of agave or date syrup.
