Pear Parsley Smoothie
Light and fresh, sweet from the pear, with a clear, green herbal note.
Flat-leaf parsley has a clean, fresh and slightly peppery flavour and is a popular green in smoothies. It is known as a good source of vitamin K and vitamin C. A ripe, juicy pear brings sweetness and body, and a few drops of lemon juice add brightness.
The smoothie is light and refreshing, with a distinctly herbal character. It suits anyone who already enjoys green smoothies and wants something different from spinach. Serve it with a light lunch or as a morning drink.
