Frozen berries straight from the freezer make this smoothie cold and thick without a single ice cube. Apple and pear bring the sweetness, the spinach quietly disappears in the purple.

Fruity and cold with a berry tartness, a juicy apple and pear sweetness and a thick, slushy texture.
This is a practical everyday smoothie built on fruit you can keep at home all year: apples, pears and a bag of frozen mixed berries. Frozen berries are picked ripe and frozen quickly, so they are a good alternative to fresh ones out of season.
Apple and pear provide fibre and a mild, rounded sweetness, while the berries bring colour and a tart note. The baby spinach is there for a little extra green; its taste is barely noticeable. A good breakfast smoothie and easy to vary with whatever fruit is in the bowl.
Yes, it contains only fruit, spinach and water.
No, a powerful blender breaks down the skin; just wash the fruit well.
