Pear Smoothie with Berry Mix
Taste
Cold and juicy, tart berries balanced by soft pear sweetness.
About this smoothie
Pear is a useful partner for tart berries: it brings sweetness and juiciness without the heaviness of banana. A frozen berry mix, usually raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and currants, adds intense flavour and a deep red colour. Berries provide vitamin C and fibre, pears add more fibre, much of it in the skin.
This smoothie can be made all year with frozen berries and seasonal pears. A light, refreshing option for breakfast or the afternoon.
Bartender tips
Add the liquid first so the frozen berries blend more easily.
A ripe, soft pear gives more sweetness than a firm one.
Variations
Creamy version
Replace half the water with natural or plant yogurt.
