California Prune And Mango Smoothie:

California Prune And Mango Smoothie.

Prunes are well known for their fibre content and natural sweetness, making them an excellent base for smoothies without needing added sugars.

They also contribute a creamy texture when blended.

Mango adds a refreshing tropical note along with vitamins, antioxidants, and a smooth consistency that balances the deeper flavour of the prunes.

Together, they create a naturally sweet and satisfying combination.

Serves 6 | Preparation time 10 mins

You Will Need:

• 1 orange
• 1 mango stoned, peeled and chopped
• 5 (50g) California prunes roughly chopped
• 100g low fat natural yoghurt
• 200ml semi-skimmed milk

Method:

1. Grate the rind of the orange then cut off the peel and cut into segments – do this over a bowl to catch the juice. 
2. Place the orange rind and segments in a liquidiser with the remaining ingredients, including the juice, and whiz until smooth.
3. Pour into 2 glasses and drink immediately.

Broad Bean, Watercress, Feta and California Prune Salad:

Broad Bean, Watercress, Feta and California Prune Salad.

A broad bean, watercress, feta and California prune salad is a fresh, flavourful dish that brings together savoury, sweet, and tangy elements in one balanced bowl.

Combining crisp greens, creamy cheese, tender beans, and naturally sweet prunes creates a salad that feels both nourishing and satisfying.

It works beautifully as a light lunch, a colourful side, or a wholesome addition to a seasonal menu.

Broad beans add a soft texture and subtle nutty taste, while watercress contributes a peppery freshness that keeps the salad lively.

Feta cheese introduces a creamy, slightly salty contrast that enhances the other ingredients.

California prunes sourced from California bring natural sweetness, chewiness, and depth of flavour, balancing the savoury notes while adding fibre and valuable nutrients.

A simple dressing often works best, allowing the ingredients to shine without overpowering their natural flavours.

Optional extras like toasted nuts, fresh herbs, or sliced avocado can add extra texture and richness.

Easy to prepare and full of contrasting flavours, this salad offers a delicious way to combine wholesome ingredients into a vibrant, satisfying dish.

Serves 4 | Preparation time  25 mins

Ingredients:

• 275g shelled broad beans
• 50g watercress
• 100g mange tout roughly chopped
• 100g California prunes halved
• 30g pecan nuts roughly chopped
• 175g feta cheese
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey

How To Make:

Method: 

1. Firstly, cook the broad beans in a pan of simmering water until tender, then rinse under cold water and drain. 
2. The broad beans can be eaten like this but are nicer if the tough outer skins are removed. Divide the watercress between 4 plates and top with the broad beans, mange tout, prunes and pecan nuts, then sprinkle with the feta cheese.
3. Whisk together the remaining ingredients and sprinkle over the salad.
