Just pineapple, fruit tea and mint. It is one of the lightest smoothies you can make, more like a thick, frothy juice than a creamy shake.
200 g
pineapple peeled, in chunks
5 oz
fruit tea
4 leaves
mint leaves
Garnish: Mint sprig · Ice: Served up, no ice
Light, frothy and tropical with sweet pineapple, a berry hint and a cool mint finish.
Ripe pineapple is sweet and aromatic enough to carry a smoothie on its own. It is known for vitamin C and contains bromelain, an enzyme that gives fresh pineapple its slight tingle. Cold fruit tea replaces water and adds a berry note, fresh mint brings coolness.
The smoothie is refreshing rather than filling and suits hot days, a light breakfast or the time after sport. It froths up nicely when blended and is best drunk right away.
Yes, it contains only fruit, tea and mint.
Fresh pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which causes a slight tingling sensation on the tongue.
Yes, drained pineapple in juice works but tastes sweeter and less fresh.
