Light and juicy with tangy pineapple, mellow pear and a faint coconut sweetness.
This is a gentle green smoothie: baby spinach tastes very mild, so the fruit stays in the foreground. Pineapple brings acidity, the pear sweetness and a soft texture. Coconut water, the clear liquid of young coconuts, naturally contains potassium and adds a subtle nutty sweetness.
It is light enough for a hot day and works well after exercise or as a fresh start to the morning.
Yes; it will be slightly less sweet.
Hardly. Baby spinach is very mild and the fruit dominates.
