My children love drinking Robinson’s Fruit Shoot, perfect to take out and about or stick in a pack lunch. It’s really good to know that a Fruit Shoot contains real fruit, in fact there’s real fruit in every drop of Fruit Shoot and each and every one is filled with multi-vitamins. Better still, there’s no added sugar, artificial colours or flavourings at all.
Inspired by the inclusion of real fruit, ex- Great British Bake Off star, Holly Bell has curated some delicious recipes suitable for the whole family that include real fruit for added flavour and nutrition. We decided to try the Apple & Pear Pancakes out as they sounded nice and warming with the added cinnamon for the cold Autumn evenings that are upon us.
Ingredients for the Apples & Pears:
- 1 apple & 1 pear peeled, cored and cut into chunks
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- maple syrup for serving
Ingredients for the pancakes:
- 180ml milk
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 130g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- vegetable oil
- maple syrup for serving
Method:
- Place the apples, pears, lemon juice and cinnamon into a small saucepan and cook over a low heat for about 10 minutes until soft
- Make the pancake batter by mixing the milk and lemon juice into a jug.
- In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together
- Crack the egg into the milk and lemon mixture and whisk
- Pour liquid mix over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Add the apples and pears now or can be served seperately on top of the finished pancakes
- Heat the oil and add small amounts of batter at a time to form each pancake, cook on both sides until just brown until all batter used u
- Serve on a plate with fruit and maple syrup
The children were first to taste and declared them delicious They were quick and simple to make, my daughter enjoyed helping me and most of all it was a tasty family dessert with some added real fruit – just like Fruit Shoots!

Well I think you can tell by Miss M’s face that these are a hit! She ate the whole bar and said she liked it. Her favourite is in fact the Strawberry flavour whilst 5 yr old Mister B wasn’t really fussed and happy to eat any of them. With all the benefits these have over junk food, they will always be more expensive than regular cereal type bars but if your child is getting one of their five a day, then that is worth it for me.
I was lucky to get to try out an Almond & Raisin Raw Choco Brownie, well you give something like that to a chocoholic and it’s pretty much a given that I’ll like it! It did taste good, but you could tell it was healthy, it was moist though and a good chunk of energy, would be great for an afternoon snack at work!
