I find banana needs something a bit sharp. Plums are good. So are berries - you can use frozen ones. Kiwi is ok, but a bit startling.

We do banana and blueberries or raspberries with some yogurt and honey. Tastes delicious!

so forgot to say need to be bit cheap! lol

so if i go to the fruit stall and buy bananas and something else???

maybe apples or pears and ...........

dont want anything frozen as its about cutting up the fruit

any one else???

i'd to the innocent website and nick all their ideas

thanks thats a great idea. i have some before and them mix together just tasted awlful.

i did cheese straws before now with them and one mum said it was the most awlful thing her son had ever bought home! hasten to say she doesn't ever volunteer her time!!

Cheeky bint

We love smoothies in our house and its a great way to get the kids to eat fruit. Have used all the fruits others have mentioned but love them all when you add a spoonful of honey to them.

I did a berry one once (raspberry and blackberry) and it was quite tart. Find bananas and strawberries taste the nicest for kids.

Bananas, scoop of ice cream, with peanut butter or honey.

I think not apples - bit hard and will end up with bits. Stick with strawbs, bananas, rasps, tinned peaches are excellent for cutting too an mush down well. Don't forget you'll need some liquid, cranberry juice is good, not too sweet.

You can also buy tinned mango slices and other tropical fruits. Fresh isn't always ideal, ripeness is important.
