Summer Smoothie

With the beautiful summer weather today I whipped up a delicious summer smoothie with good fructose friendly fruits. 

Summer Smoothie Recipe

This isn't really a strict recipe that you must follow but usually I add a little bit of this and a little bit of that to get a smoothie. Hopefully you can use this as inspiration which you can alter to your own taste and intolerance's.

What I used here: 

1 Banana

Small handful of strawberries

Small handful of frozen blueberries

A small chunk of cucumber

Pineapple juice as needed 

Blend together

Working on an assignment over the weekend, I have needed some extra brain food to get me through. 

Many people think that because you have fructose malabsorption, you cannot eat fruit, this is very wrong! It's just about selecting the right fruits and going with whats in season. 

Here's a fruit salad I whipped up in just a few minutes:
