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.
