Pineapple Apple Smoothie with Fresh Mint

Taste

Light, tangy and refreshing, with sweet pineapple, crisp apple and a cooling mint finish.

About this smoothie

Pineapple brings sweetness, a lively acidity and a strong tropical aroma, apple adds crisp juice and a little more body, and mint gives a cool, clean finish. There is no dairy and no banana, so the drink stays light and refreshing rather than creamy.

Pineapple is a good source of vitamin C and manganese. For the best flavor, pick a pineapple that smells sweet at the base and whose inner leaves pull out easily. Spearmint, the common garden mint, suits fruit better than sharp peppermint. The smoothie is a natural choice for summer and after exercise.
