Getting your 5-a-day or more in a glass for breakfast

Have you seen all those supposed to be healthy smoothies?  Some are pasturised, contain dairy, and some have added sugar.  Here's one that contains fruit and nothing but the fruit.  Actually, it does have some walnuts in it! 

In a powerful blender (such as a vita mix) place:

1 peeled banana.
1 quartered apple (you can remove the core, but i am too lazy).
2 handfuls of frozen berries.
1 large peeled slice of papaya (optional)
Some pitted prunes (in juice)
A generous splosh of coconut water (especially good for electrolyte replacement)
A glug of water
A handful of ice cubes
A handful of walnuts.

Blend until smooth, let down with additional water or coconut water. 

Better than all those "healthy" variants.
