Pear and Melon Smoothie with Baby Spinach
Mild, juicy and fresh, sweet melon and pear with only a faint green note.
Honeydew melon has a pale green, very juicy flesh with a mild, honeyed sweetness and a high water content, which makes it ideal for light, refreshing smoothies. A ripe pear adds body and fibre, and baby spinach contributes folate and vitamin K while tasting very mild. The fruit sweetness dominates, so the drink tastes fresh and fruity rather than grassy. A light breakfast smoothie or a refreshing drink between meals.
Hardly; melon and pear dominate.
Yes. It contains only fruit, spinach and water.
Yes, about 20 g of frozen leaf spinach works; it also chills the smoothie.
