Lime and mint make this apple and pear smoothie taste a little like a non alcoholic mojito. It is tart, cool and very refreshing.
¾ oz
lime juice
1
pear cored
1
red apple cored
6 leaves
mint leaves
5 oz
water
Garnish: Mint sprig · Ice: Served up, no ice
Zesty and cool with crisp apple, juicy pear, sharp lime and a fresh mint finish.
Apples and pears provide the body, sweetness and fibre in this smoothie. Fresh lime juice adds sharp acidity and a clear citrus aroma, and fresh mint brings a cooling menthol note. Together they make a drink that is light and thirst quenching rather than creamy.
It suits hot days particularly well and makes a good alternative to sweet soft drinks. Taste before serving: limes vary a lot in acidity, so adjust with more water or a little honey.
Yes, it contains only fruit, mint and water.
Fresh juice tastes clearly better, but bottled works in a pinch.
It is tart but balanced by apple and pear. Add honey if you prefer it sweeter.
