Fresh Tropicana

Fruit squash was always a favourite of mine as a child, now I have matured (albeit a little) I prefer freshly squeezed fruit juice. My trusty fruit juicer has helped me to introduce more fruits and veg into my diet, such as the dreaded mango! As I said last week mango’s texture just makes me feel ill but mango juice is amazing!

Seeing as my juices have been a bit conservative recently I decided to spice life up a bit and choose a juice recipe which contained some tropical fruits.

This recipe I found contains pineapple, mango, lime and ginger. For a long time I didn’t think that I liked pineapple, the juice yes but the fruit no, amazingly though when I was chopping up the pineapple to be juiced I decided to brave it and try it for the first time in years. And miracle of miracles I actually liked it! One more fruit that I like… yay!

When I tasted the juice though I decided the recipe needed a bit of tweaking as it was a bit too bitter. Therefore I have cut back on the ginger and recommend you only use half a lime (add a whole lime if you like the flavour but for me it’s just a bit too strong). You could also add more mango if you want to make the juice just that little bit sweeter.

Now on to the recipe…

Ingredients you will need:

1 large mango

1 large pineapple

1/2 a lime

1/2 a thumb of ginger

Instructions:

Peel and chop all the ingredients into juiceable chunks. Then blitz in the juicer and serve.
