Ripe pears are soft and sweet enough to carry a handful of spinach without anyone noticing. The result is one of the mildest green smoothies there is.

Mild and sweet with a creamy pear body and a light, fresh green note.
Pears are among the sweetest native fruits and have a soft texture that blends into a creamy smoothie. Their mild flavour pairs well with baby spinach, which adds a green colour but hardly any taste. Pears also contribute fibre, much of it in the skin, so there is no need to peel them. Cooled fruit tea adds aroma and keeps the drink light. It is a good first green smoothie and a gentle breakfast drink.
Yes, it contains only fruit, spinach and tea.
Yes, a small frozen portion works and makes the smoothie colder.
No, washing them well is enough.
