SmoothieCast | Fairtrade Smoothie Recipes

A 'smoothie' with a nice kick, and its all fair!

• 1 Jar of M&S Fairtrade Rhubarb and Ginger Conserve
• 250ml Fairtrade Apple Juice

You can add ice to make this into a true smoothie, but I like to use it as a dip for Fairtrade Organic Brazil Nut Cookies, give it a go, you may discover your taste buds leaping for joy!!!

If your feeling a little uneasy, this good ol' english hedgerow smoothie will calm you nicely!

• A whole jar of M&S Fairtrade Hedgerow Conserve
• 500ml of Fairtrade Apple Juice
• 2 handfuls of ice

All ingredients in head first (unless they are scared, go easy) Ice last! Hit smooth and sit back with a lovely calming and de-hedging smoothie!

This is a very traditional flavoured smoothie, but with the ace twist that all the ingrediants used are giving people a fair price for their fruit!

• 200ml Fruit passion apple juice from Co-Op
• Half a jar of blackcurrant conserve from M&S
• 6 Fairtrade Grapes
• Handful of ice cubes

Dead simple, all ingredients into the smoothiemaker, hit start and you've got yourself a totally fair Apple and Blackcurrant smoothie. Good thought old chap!
