Apples are a good fruit to use when combining green veg and fruit because if you use red fruits the result is a horrid brown...
If you have never tried it I can recommend using frozen fruit with natural yoghurt to make what turns out like ice cream but is much healthier. Ripe bananas freeze really well and you can use frozen strawberries or whatever too according to your taste. You can add small amounts of veg like carrots, cabbage and sprouts to this and you'll hardly notice in the final product. Great for kids who don't like veg.
