About this smoothie

Carrot, apple and pineapple is a popular juice-bar combination, and it works just as well as a smoothie. Carrot juice is known for its beta-carotene, the pigment behind its orange colour. Apple brings freshness and fibre, and pineapple adds acidity and a tropical aroma that lifts the earthy carrot.

The smoothie is light, dairy free and naturally sweet, a bright choice for breakfast or an afternoon break.

Bartender tips

  • Baby pineapples are very sweet and easy to peel; one small fruit is enough for two glasses.
  • Add a thin slice of ginger for a spicy note.

Variations

With fresh carrot
Replace the carrot juice with one small grated carrot and a little more water.
