Pear Honeydew Smoothie

Just two fruits and water, but the combination is spot on: honeydew brings juice and honeyed sweetness, the pear adds body and a floral note.

Pear Honeydew Smoothie

Taste

Light, juicy and mild with honeyed melon and soft pear; smooth and refreshing.

About this smoothie

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 gives the smoothie fibre and a smoother, rounder texture so it does not feel like a juice. Both fruits are gentle and sweet, so no sugar is needed. The result is mild and refreshing, good for children, for hot days and for anyone who prefers smoothies without tart or bitter notes.

Bartender tips

  • A ripe honeydew smells sweet at the stem end and gives slightly when pressed.
  • Freeze half of the melon cubes for a colder, thicker drink.

Variations

With basil
Add 4 fresh basil leaves for a fragrant, slightly peppery note.
