Pineapple Apple Smoothie with Pear and Fruit Tea

Taste

Light and juicy, tangy pineapple and sweet apple and pear with a tart berry tea note.

About this smoothie

Fruit teas, usually blends of hibiscus, rosehip, apple and dried berries, are a clever smoothie base: they add colour and a tart, fruity flavour with no sugar and normally no caffeine. Here they meet tangy pineapple, a red apple and half a juicy pear, which together bring enough sweetness without any extra sugar.

The smoothie is thin and refreshing rather than creamy, perfect as a cold drink on a warm day or with breakfast.

Bartender tips

  • Brew the tea the evening before and chill it overnight; then the smoothie takes two minutes.
  • A hibiscus heavy fruit tea gives the smoothie a stronger red colour.

Variations

With rooibos
Use rooibos tea instead of fruit tea for a softer, honeyed flavour.
