Pear Pineapple Smoothie with Fresh Mint
Sweet and juicy, smooth from the pear, tangy from the pineapple, with a cool mint finish.
Ripe pears are soft, juicy and mildly sweet, which makes them an ideal smoothie base. Pineapple adds a tangy tropical aroma, and mint brings a refreshing coolness that balances the sweetness of both fruits.
The drink is fruity without being heavy and works especially well in summer. Soft pear varieties such as Williams or Conference give the smoothest texture. Serve it as a light breakfast, a snack or a refreshing drink in the afternoon.
