The main ingredients are: one big organic banana (you may have guessed it), kiwi fruit and strawberries. When choosing the banana, make sure you get the fresh one; just feel it in your hand, if it is hard then it's ok (please don't get carried away). Now we choose the kiwi fruit, try to squeeze the fruit a bit to test the firmness, but please only gently (because fruit has feeling too). On to the strawberries, avoid the dull looking berries; get your nose closer to them and you should smell the fragrant from the fresh ones (they are juicy).
