Nectarine Mint Smoothie with Coconut Water
Light and juicy, with fragrant nectarine, a cool mint lift and a soft coconut sweetness.
Despite its old title, this smoothie contains no apple: nectarines carry it on their own. They are juicy, aromatic and a source of vitamin C, and their thin, smooth skin blends in without peeling. Mint gives a clear, cool freshness that fits stone fruit very well.
Coconut water is light, slightly sweet and contains potassium, which is why it is popular after sport. The smoothie is thin and refreshing rather than creamy, more of a summer cooler than a meal, perfect after a walk in the heat.
The original recipe listed only nectarines, mint and coconut water. You can add half an apple if you like.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes. Peaches are a little sweeter; peel them if the fuzz bothers you.
