Cherimoya tastes like a cross between pineapple, banana and vanilla custard, and it makes this smoothie wonderfully creamy. Blueberries add colour and tartness, spinach a hidden portion of greens.

Blueberry, Cherimoya and Baby Spinach Smoothie
Creamy and exotic, with vanilla-like cherimoya, tangy blueberry and a soft apple finish.
Cherimoya, sometimes called custard apple, comes originally from the Andes and is grown today in warm regions including southern Spain. Its white flesh is soft and creamy, and its flavour recalls pineapple, banana and vanilla. The large black seeds are not edible and must be removed before blending.
Blueberries add colour and a gentle tartness, half an apple some juice, and baby spinach folate and vitamin K. The smoothie is naturally sweet and filling, a special treat for breakfast in the winter months when cherimoyas are in season.
In well stocked supermarkets and fruit shops, mostly between autumn and spring.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
No. The seeds are not edible and must be removed before blending.
