The Canary melon or winter melon as it's referred to is a large, bright-yellow elongated melon with pale green to white inner flesh. This melon has a distinctively sweet flavour that is slightly tangier than a honey drew melon. The flesh look like that of a pear but is softer and taste a little like cantaloupe.

Fruit Quiz #1

Happy Fabulous Friday!!

Once a week I'll upload a quiz, tips relating to food and fruits, something interactive that will get my readers chatting.

So today I have our first fruit quiz.

I know this isn't the easiest fruit quiz as there are some very interesting fruits on here but hopefully it will inspire you to try out some of the wonderful variety of mother nature's produce.

A few days ago one of my little sisters said  " Yems your blog is not Africa friendly, I can not find the fruits you use". I laughed my head off. The exotic fruits you use are too expensive in Africa she said.

I bet when she sees this fruit quiz she will have something to say. haha!!

I will try and and use very simple fruits in my smoothies for those who can not find my exotic fruits in their countries.

Go ahead take part in the quiz by leaving your answers below in the comments box:

Can you name these fruits?

Have fun and No Cheating!

Watermelon & Banana Juice

We've had some beautiful weather today in London and watermelon is the best fruit to cool you down after a long hot day in the sunshine.

Watermelons are a great fruit to help you hydrate and cool down in the summer heat. Also, since it's mostly made up of water, watermelon makes a refreshing cool drink.

Despite being mainly water and sugar, watermelons are actually a very good source of vitamin c (which provides protection against immune system deficiencies) and vitamin A -which promotes good eye site.

Today we will be making a very simple and yet refreshing watermelon and banana juice.

Ingredients

• 2 bananas
• half of a watermelon
• Ice cubes (I rarely use ice cubes as my fruits are always frozen)

Instructions

• Remove the watermelon from the skin and place in a blender, cut the bananas and put in the blender, add the ice and blend until smooth.
• Pour into glass cup and serve cold.

Enjoy!!
