Baby pineapples are small, very sweet and have a tender core you can often eat. Half of one is enough to give apple and pear a bright tropical lift.

Apple Pear Smoothie with Baby Pineapple
Sweet and juicy, with a bright tropical pineapple note over mellow apple and pear.
Baby pineapples, often sold under names like Queen Victoria, are smaller than regular pineapples, with a more intense, very sweet flavour and a softer core that can usually be blended. They also contain vitamin C and the enzyme bromelain.
Apple and pear form the juicy base and bring fibre, especially with the peel on. Together the three fruits make a light, naturally sweet smoothie without any sugar. It works as a fruity addition to breakfast or as a refreshing drink between meals.
