A luxuriously thick and richly flavoured banana and blueberry smoothie, topped with fresh kiwi fruit, blueberries, coconut, pistachios and granola. Oh my word, such a treat. You seriously would not think it was so healthy.

The All England Wimbledon Championship is as famous for insisting the players wear a predominately white kit as it is for downpours of rain and strawberries and cream. This wonderfully healthy smoothie and perfect way to start the day, reflects the eye catching club colours associated with the Wimbledon Championship, purple and green. They are all around us in Wimbledon: they can be seen on any official merchandise as well as in the incredible floral displays throughout the grounds.

I’m on a roll with these delicious smoothie bowls. I froze a selection of fruit last week in anticipation of warmer weather ahead and craving healthy breakfasts, full of flavour and goodness. I’m so glad I did – I’m loving them. They really are a wonderful way to start the day, plus they make delicious desserts or treats at any time of the day. When your fruit is frozen and ready, they literally take minutes to put together and really encourage you to achieve your ‘7 a day’ in the best possible way!

Freeze your fruit in advance

The important thing to remember when making smoothies, is to freeze your fruit in advance. This is how I freeze my fruit:

peel your fruit, if necessary, and chop into chunks
lay out on a baking parchment lined baking tray or chopping board, making sure there is a little bit of space in between each piece of fruit. If they freeze in clumps, they can be difficult to break apart and large chunks of frozen fruit are difficult for the blender to break down and may damage the blender engine.
As soon as the fruit is frozen solid, transfer to sealed containers or freezer bags.
They should keep for up to 3 months in the freezer.
Bananas – bananas with a few brown spots on the skin are sweeter and softer and therefore much better for use in these smoothies, than younger bananas. Wait until you can see these spots on the skin before peeling, chopping and freezing.
