Evaluation of Proximate, Physicochemical and mineral composition of various fruit blends made as smoothies was reported. The four samples namely: Watermelon-Pineapple Blend (WPB), PineappleCucumber Blend (PCuB), Banana-Coconut Blend (BCoB) and Watermelon-Pineapple-Banana Blend (WPBB) were prepared by homogenizing equal weights of the fruits and mixing to have a blend of two fruits for WPB, PCuB and BCoB while three fruits were homogenized for WPBB. This is aimed at having more of their individual nutritive and health values packed together for easy consumption by both young and old together with the convalescents. These blends were analyzed for proximate and physicochemical analysis such as moisture, ash, crude fibre, protein, fat, carbohydrates, reducing sugar and Brix. The mineral elements such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron were also analyzed in the samples
