About this recipe
This fruit shake blends banana, strawberries, pineapple, mango, watermelon, kiwi and grapes with cream and crushed ice, creating a thick, very fruity drink that is especially refreshing in warm weather. The combination of tropical and seasonal fruit provides plenty of natural sweetness, so added sugar is usually optional.
The recipe is flexible and works with whatever fruit you have available. For a lighter version, replace the cream with plain yogurt or evaporated milk. Serve very cold, optionally garnished with kiwi or mint, for a quick drink that comes together in minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Can I replace the cream?
Yes. Use plain yogurt or a suitable plant-based blending alternative. Texture and flavor will change; a replacement is not necessarily lower in fat or calories.
Do I need to add sugar?
Not always. Taste after blending: ripe banana and mango may provide enough sweetness.
How do I stop it becoming watery?
Use some frozen fruit and reduce the ice. Add liquid only if needed for the blender to process the mixture.
