Method
Top and tail the pineapple and remove all the skin using a sharp knife. Cut into
quarters lengthways and remove the tough central core. Cut the flesh into chunk
pieces and place in the Smoothie Maker.
Stand the mango on a chopping board and cut either side of the flat stone using a
sharp knife. Scoop out the flesh and add this to the Smoothie Maker.
Add the bananas and water. Blend on low for a few seconds and then switch to high
and blend until the mixture is smooth. Peel the papaya, then cut in half and discard
the seeds. Cut the flesh into small pieces.
Divide the papaya onto four plates and pour over the mango and pineapple sauce.
Finish with spoonfuls of bio yoghurt and a little shredded coconut if desired.
