Apple Pear Smoothie with Coconut Water and Coconut Oil
Light and juicy, with apple and pear up front and a mild coconut note in the finish.
Coconut water is the clear liquid from young green coconuts. It is light, slightly sweet and naturally contains potassium, which is why it is popular after sport. Here it replaces plain water and adds a subtle tropical flavour to familiar apple and pear. The coconut oil contributes a hint of coconut aroma and a softer mouthfeel. The smoothie is refreshing rather than filling, so it works well on warm days or between meals.
