Enjoy a tropical fruity breakfast to boost your immune system and get you started and on your way.
Tropical summer fruits are best eaten when they are in season as the flavour is more pronounced when the fruits are high in their natural sugars. Mango, pineapple, banana and coconut make a wonderful base for a breakfast bowl topped with sliced fruit and fresh or frozen berries along with your favourite toppings. Prepare the smoothie base and chill in the fridge for at least an hour before eating.
