Carrot juice sounds more like a juice bar than a smoothie, but it gives this blend a gentle earthy sweetness and a glowing orange colour. Pineapple and apple keep it fruity and fresh.

Baby Pineapple Apple Smoothie with Carrot Juice
Juicy and fruity, with sweet pineapple, crisp apple and a soft earthy carrot sweetness.
Baby pineapples are small varieties, often from South Africa or Mauritius, with a tender, very sweet core that can usually be eaten. Half of one is enough for a glass. Carrot juice brings beta carotene and a mild sweetness that pairs well with tropical fruit, while the apple adds freshness and fibre. Honey is optional, since ripe pineapple is sweet on its own. The smoothie is light and juicy, a good start to the day or a refreshing afternoon drink.
Yes, use about 150 g of flesh and cut out the woody core.
Yes, or blend in a small grated carrot and add 60 ml more water.
Yes, if you use agave syrup instead of honey or leave out the sweetener.
