Pear Smoothie with Passion Fruit

Taste

Light and juicy, with mellow pear sweetness and a bright, perfumed passion fruit tang.

About this smoothie

A ripe pear blends into a smooth, juicy base with a delicate sweetness and gives the drink body through its fibre. Passion fruit brings a strong sweet and sour aroma that shines even in small amounts, plus vitamin C. Its seeds are edible and turn into small crunchy bits in the blender. With water as the liquid, the smoothie is light and refreshing rather than filling, a good choice on hot days or between meals.

Bartender tips

  • Two small pears work just as well as one large one.
  • Add two ice cubes on hot days for an extra chill.

Variations

With mango
Add 80 g mango for a creamier, sweeter tropical version.
