Soft and fruity with sweet apple, juicy pear and a clean, crisp background.
Red apples are usually sweeter and less acidic than green ones, and ripe pear adds a soft, juicy texture. Iceberg lettuce contributes water and a neutral freshness, so the smoothie stays light instead of tasting like thick fruit purée.
This is an easy smoothie for using up apples and pears from the fruit bowl. It is mild enough for children and a good breakfast drink alongside something more filling.
Yes, it contains only lettuce, fruit and water.
No, washed skins blend fine and add fibre.
Sweet varieties such as Gala, Fuji or Pink Lady.
