Morning-After Superfruit Salad

You can vary the fruit used according to your taste and the season, but the following recipe makes a fabulous summer fruit salad to top up your vitamin C levels and help cure any hangovers. The blended yoghurt and fruit make a delicious fresh smoothie for pouring over the fruit salad and along with the seeds provides protein and essential fats, which help the heart, skin, brain and hormones. This dish should be served straightaway.
