Fruit Whip
This is a healthy after school or weekend snack for kids and adults alike! It has been shared with us by Georgia Harding from Well Nourished. Just don’t tell everyone about the secret creamy ingredient – avocado! Why include avocado? Avocado is a fibre rich source of potassium and healthy monounsaturated fat (amongst many other things). It’s anti-inflammatory and supports heart, brain and eye health. And for more potassium and plant given goodness, this fruit whip includes banana and anti-oxidant rich berries too. But really, it's just delicious!
Recipe Tester Feedback: "This was delicious, nutritious and a hit with the whole family. I was a little worried about the avocado (colour / taste / smell) but no one in my family commented on it. In fact they were surprised it was in there!" - Nicki
