Pineapple Pear Mint Smoothie
Fruity and cool, tangy pineapple with sweet pear and apple and a fresh mint finish.
This is an everyday fruit smoothie built mostly from inexpensive fruit. Pineapple brings the strongest flavour and some vitamin C, pear and red apple add mild sweetness, and half a small banana makes the texture smoother without dominating. Fresh mint gives the whole mix a cool, clean finish.
No sugar or dairy is needed. It is a good choice for breakfast, a hot afternoon or for using up fruit that is getting very ripe.
