Apple Pear Smoothie with Mixed Berries
Cold, fruity and pleasantly tart, with berry flavour in front and mellow apple and pear sweetness behind.
This is an everyday smoothie in the best sense. Apple and pear provide juice, natural sweetness and fibre, especially if you leave the peel on. The frozen berry mix, usually a combination of raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and currants, adds colour, tartness and chills the drink at the same time.
Because the berries are frozen, you need no ice, and the flavour stays concentrated. It is a practical smoothie for busy mornings and a simple way to get some fruit into a day that has little time for breakfast.
