Fruit Medley

2 plums, stoned and cut in half
2 ripe pears, cored and roughly chopped
10 strawberries, stems and top removed
1 banana

Tip:  It is really up to you whether or not you peel the fruit. If you’re using organic fruits then it’s a good idea to leave the peel on as it contains lots of vitamins and nutrients.  If you’re using non-organic fruits, then it may be best to peel them before using.

Blend all the fruit until smooth and enjoy!  For a chunkier texture smoothie, chop us some extra strawberries, place them in your glass, fill with the smoothie and enjoy.
