janestarzWell, for only seven euro anyone can construct a vitamin bomb with a 2 pound blast (at least).
Most of this stuff you can buy at your local supermarket, or even on a regular market.
First, dig into your cupboards and get out your largest bowl. You will need this in the preperation fase. Then, grab your sharpest knife. Always be careful with sharp knives, especially when cutting sturdy stuff. Now, go to your local pusher and pick up the following items:
- 1 melon (Galia and/or watermelon)
- 2 apples (any kind you prefer, I usually go with Jonagold)
- 3 pears
- a few kiwifruits
- 2 or 3 banana's
- an orange (optional)
- strawberries or other berries (optional)
- cherries (optional)
- plum, mango, peach (optional)
Bring these home, but be careful. Some of these can bruise and/or explode when you bump them too hard. You will want to be careful with them.
Once you arrive home, carefully unwrap the following components: apples, pears, kiwifruits, bananas, and if you have one, the orange. The sticky goo you will encounter in most of the components are natural. They are not required for the actual vitamin bomb, so don't be alarmed if you spill some. The stuff might be corrosive after a while; when left out on a flat surface, green, orange, yellow or even white stains will occur (hairy parts have been observed, but these are optional).
The melon, cherries and berries are different. The cherries and berries (straw-, rasp-, black-, red-, or gooseberries) will not have to be peeled, just rinsed. Carefully place them under a cold stream and rinse off the outer filth. Try not to bruise them.
The melon will have to be cut open in quarters. Unwrapping it before slicing it is quite tricky.
Next: take out all stones from the components. The stones can be quite hazardous to any mouthly utensils. You might want to safely put these in earth to make sure nothing can go wrong with them.
So, now that you have unwrapped and prepared all the components, it's time for the final step: slicing. Slice all components into 2-3 cm blocks, and put them in your big bowl. Stir, and serve.
I wish I could present a picture, but my camera's broken. The lens doesn't want to budge.

Of course it's also very nice to mix any type of red berry (preferably sour) with yoghurt like products.
And there's nothing like fresh red grapefruit juice... jum vitamin C and 80% water, very nice for your system!

I have a navy of banana split boats
I have very effective artillery of orange peels (squeeze 'em and they squirt ;D )
My infantry is equipped with passion fruit grenades
My chemical weapons arsenal consist of lemon acid and noxious onion gas (like any good military strategist, I cheat)
In the unlikely event of an emergency we can retreat to our impenetrable cocnut bunker, in which case it'll be time for...
