Apple, Pear and Pineapple Smoothie
Sweet and fruity, smooth from apple and pear, with a juicy, tangy pineapple finish.
Apples and pears blend into a mild, creamy base and are available all year. Pineapple brings the character: a juicy, sweet and tangy tropical flavour that makes the whole drink taste fresher. Fresh pineapple also contains the enzyme bromelain, which is why it can tingle slightly on the tongue.
It is a simple, reliable fruit smoothie without greens, well suited to children and to anyone who prefers classic fruit flavours. It makes a good breakfast drink or a snack between meals.
Yes, choose pineapple in juice and drain it before blending.
No, just wash them well.
Yes, if you sweeten with agave syrup.
