Non Alcoholic Sangria (Cranberry & Fruit Smoothie)

In Many of my sessions we make a smoothie, shake or lassi. It is a great way for children to experiment whilst getting some of their 5-a-day! You can change the cranberry juice below for apple, orange, grape or anything they fancy. You can buy some great frozen fruit combinations or use fresh fruit that is even just close to the turn.

Non Alcoholic Sangria (Cranberry & Fruit Smoothie)

½ a litre of Cranberry Juice

Then add the fresh or frozen fruit below as they fresh and frozen fruit are both as good for you as each other.

7 Raspberries
Handful of Blueberries
2 or 3 Strawberries
Ice (The more ice you put in the more slushy it will be)

Then  get an adult to put it in a blender/liquidizer and Whisk it! Mix it! shake it up! and Blitz it! for about 10 seconds or so in the blender.

In a glass you can pour it over some sliced orange or other sliced fruits to give it that “Sangria” feeling.

Remember this adds to your 5-day but not too many of them as they can have a  lot of sugar in the liquidized fruit.

Strawberry Milk Shake

½ Pint Semi skimmed milk

3 Spoons of Natural or Greek Yoghurt
