Two orchard fruits, cold water and a pinch of cinnamon: this is about as simple as a smoothie gets. It tastes a bit like a fresh, drinkable apple crumble without the sugar.
1
red apple cored
½
pear cored
5 oz
water
1 tsp
lemon juice
pinch of
ground cinnamon (optional)
Garnish: A pinch of cinnamon · Ice: Served up, no ice
Fresh and fruity, lightly tart, with a soft pear body and a warm hint of cinnamon.
Apple and pear are a classic autumn pairing, available in good quality for most of the year. Blended whole, they keep their fibre, which gives the drink more body than a pressed juice. A little lemon juice keeps the colour from browning and sharpens the flavour, and cinnamon adds warmth. With water as the only liquid, the smoothie stays light and very affordable. Enjoy it at breakfast or as a quick afternoon snack.
No. Wash it well; the peel blends fine in most blenders and adds fibre.
Yes, the smoothie is completely plant based.
Cut apple oxidises quickly. Lemon juice slows this down, and drinking it fresh helps most.
