Makes enough for 4 with leftover mixed fruit to make smoothies
Method
- Let’s start by making our fruity smoothie pond. In a blender pour in the plain yoghurt with a big handful of blueberries, and whiz together. Ask your grown-up helper to help you do this as blenders can be very whizzy! If you don’t have a blender you could just mix the yoghurt and blueberries together with a spoon.
- Then pour your smoothie into a small bowl. You can add a few blueberries on the top of the smoothie pond to represent frog eyes
- Now we need to make our Froggy Fruit Salad. We are using a Honeydew melon to be our frog’s body. Ask your grown-up helper to very carefully cut out a large slice to be the mouth shape. You want a big mouth to make sure you can fit all your fruit salad inside!
- Then using a tablespoon, start scooping out the inside of the melon. If this is too difficult you can carefully score the inside of the melon to ease the lifting out of the flesh. We want enough space in the melon to add all our chopped fruit in later.
- Add all the scooped-out melon to a mixing bowl along with all of the other chopped fruit. Then squeeze in the lemon juice and stir gently to make sure all the fruit is covered. The lemon juice will stop the fruit from going brown.
- Then carefully spoon all the fruit salad back into the scooped-out melon. If the melon keeps rolling around, you can ask your grown-up helper to carefully cut a thin slice on the bottom to make the melon sit flat on the plate.
- We then need to give our frog some googly froggy eyes. You can use two kiwi slices to be the eyes, and carefully attach these to the melon with two cocktail sticks. You could even add some red grape slices or even edible icing eyes to be the pupils.
- For a last finishing touch if you want extra decoration, you can use the leftover slice of melon and carefully cut out two tiny froggy feet. To finish off your royal dish, you can give your Frog Prince a little paper crown!
