Casual Friday Breakfast II - Merging Fruits

I don't plan to make this a weekly event, but I did have the time and opportunity to produce a non-standard breakfast again this morning. We're still recovering from Christmas excess and I was determined to find a way to use up some of the left over fresh food before it went bad and World Vision ads made me feel guilty about my negligence.

After weighing up my choices of fruit, breads, salads and meats I decided I wanted to try blending all the left over fruit from the last week into a giant smoothie. This included half a honey dew melon, some week old nectarines, some giant mangoes Craig gave me and some frozen raspberries. I decided the best way to combine all these was going to require my blender.
If you're wondering what all fruits look like when layered in a blender with some vanilla yogurt, they look like this:

Yes, I too was slightly afraid that this was going to taste like the warm upchuck of an exhausted snub-nosed monkey after it was chased with a broom from a Chinese market's fruit stall. However, twenty minutes of slicing and skinning fruits made me stubborn enough to drink it. The taste wasn't off-putting, although I immediately regretted not adding a tray of ice to offset the warmth that ripening mangoes provide.

Pros:
Vitamins.

Cons:
The mango overpowered almost everything else, and was the main culprit for the warmth.

Improvement in Productivity:
This smoothie didn't improve my productivity as the preparation time meant I almost started work late. My concentration was about average.

Casual Friday Rating:
One colleague who brought a pavlova for morning tea to share and you don't really like the taste of pavlova but you decide to have a slice of it anyway because apples aren't on special at Woolworths that week and you decide the calories to dollars ratio outweighs the low glycaemic index value to dollars ratio out of five.
