BERRY SMOOTHIES
For this recipe, use whatever berries you can get your hands on – blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or mulberries. There are also some excellent frozen berries available in freezer packs in the supermarkets that work well in this smoothie.  The thickness of the berry smoothie depends on the amount of yoghurt that you put in – anywhere from ½ a cup to one cup is fine. After that, you might need a spoon instead of a straw. The quantities shown will make two smoothies. - 250g berries of your choice
- 1 cup super-cold milk (fat content up to you)
- ½ to one cup berry flavoured yoghurt (or plain is fine)
- Crushed ice (optional)
The recipe is easy: simply blend until smooth. Add a little crushed ice to the glass to make this smoothie really refreshing. MANGO LASSI The ingredients and the technique are similar to the berry smoothie. Simply substitute a chopped ripe mango for the berries, buttermilk for the milk (optional, you can use milk) and add a couple of tablespoons of lime juice before blending. All the wonderful summery flavour of a mango lassi will leave you feeling refreshed and satisfied. By Lynn Bain, as featured in Caravan World issue 462, February 2009.
