Apple Pear Berry Smoothie
Taste
Juicy and fruity, sweet from apple and pear with a fresh, tart berry note; medium body.
About this smoothie
Apples and pears are the backbone of many European smoothies: available all year, affordable and naturally sweet. Blended whole, they keep their fibre, which gives the drink more body than a juice. The frozen berries bring tartness, a deep red colour and vitamin C, and they chill the smoothie so no ice is needed. With nothing but fruit and water, this is one of the simplest recipes on the site and a reliable choice for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
Bartender tips
The riper the pear, the sweeter and smoother the smoothie.
For extra thickness freeze the pear pieces beforehand.
Variations
With baby spinach
Add about 20 g baby spinach; the taste barely changes and the berries hide the green.
Frequently asked questions
Is it vegan?
Yes. It consists only of fruit and water.
Do I have to peel apple and pear?
No, just wash them well and remove the cores.
Can I prepare it the night before?
It keeps covered in the fridge overnight, but it thickens and loses some freshness. Shake before drinking.
