The last time I posted a ‘whole fruit juice’ it was the Icy Whole Watermelon Juice (below).
Here is a new recipe for a whole fruit juice, this time a delicous tropical whole fruit juice.
Making a Whole Fruit Juice in a blender keeps the fibre in rather than excluding it.. It’s really simple to make these juices (and you don’t need a juicer to make them): just add fruit to a blender and plenty of water and blend until it is the consistency of a juice. Easy!

You can really use any fruit. Some great ones to try are: watermelon, orange, strawberry or mango; basically any fruit that you like the taste of in a juice would work this way.
Did you know: Pineapple has a special constituent called Bromelain which can help improve digestion of protein and it is also anti-inflammatory?
Here is a Whole Fruit Juice I enjoyed a few days ago: coconut water with coconut meat and frozen pineapple all blended together.
You can even add some green veggies (like spinach or kale) to make a green smoothie. Here are some of my favourite green smoothies:
Pear, Mint and Ginger Green Smoothie
Mango Green Smoothie (my personal favourite!)
For more delicious green smoothie recipes have a look at the recipe index.
For this posts recipe you will need some coconut water from a young coconut. If you’ve never opened a young coconut (or you don’t know how) have a look at the video I made below:
