Pineapple Pear Smoothie with Mint Tea
Cool and fruity, tangy pineapple and passion fruit with soft pear and a clean mint finish.
Peppermint tea is a caffeine free herbal infusion, and chilled it works like a flavoured water in smoothies. Its cooling taste goes especially well with tropical fruit. Pineapple and passion fruit both have bright acidity and a strong aroma, while pear adds body and sweetness, so no sugar is needed.
The smoothie is light and refreshing, ideal on hot days, after exercise or as a fruity drink in the evening.
