1. 1

   Wash 400 g of fresh fruit (oranges, mangoes, strawberries, watermelon, etc.), peel and cut into rough chunks.

   ⏱️ approx. 8 min

   💡 Tip: Bebidas de Frutas (fruit juices/shakes) are very popular in Portugal and Brazil — freshly pressed or blended. Ripe, sweet fruit requires little added sugar. Seasonal and local produce is the most aromatic.

2. 2

   Place the fruit in a blender. Add 200 ml of fruit juice (orange, apple or mango juice). Add 200 g of honey (or agave syrup for a vegan version) to taste. Add ice or cold water as needed for extra freshness.

   ⏱️ approx. 5 min

   💡 Tip: Adjust the amount of honey according to the sweetness of the fruit. Very ripe fruit hardly needs any sweetener. For a smoothie, add more juice; for a thicker drink, use less liquid.

3. 3

   Blend everything until smooth. Pour through a sieve for a smooth juice or serve unfiltered as a smoothie. Pour into glasses with ice and drink immediately.

   ⏱️ approx. 5 min

   💡 Tip: Drink immediately — fresh juice quickly loses its vitamins and aroma. Serve with a straw and fresh fruit as decoration.
