A ripe pear makes this smoothie juicy and soft, the green apple keeps it crisp. Rocket and ginger add just enough edge to stop it tasting like plain fruit purée.

Pears are among the milder fruits and blend into a smooth, almost silky texture. Together with apple they bring fibre and natural sweetness. Rocket adds a peppery green note, and fresh ginger gives warmth.
Compared with a banana base, this version is lighter and more refreshing, which makes it a good choice on warm days or as a mid morning drink. The riper the pear, the less you notice the rocket.
