Pineapple Spinach Smoothie with Blueberries

The spinach is in there, but you would never guess it from the colour: blueberries turn this smoothie a deep violet. Pineapple adds tang, pear sweetness and fruit tea a berry base.

Pineapple Spinach Smoothie with Blueberries

Taste

Fruity and fresh, sweet blueberry and pear with tangy pineapple, the spinach barely noticeable.

About this smoothie

This is a good smoothie for people who want greens without the green look. Blueberries dominate the colour and add a mild, sweet berry flavour, while pineapple brings acidity and a tropical aroma. Pear gives body and sweetness, and baby spinach disappears almost completely in taste.

Cooled fruit tea replaces water and deepens the fruitiness without sugar. The smoothie suits breakfast or a refreshing afternoon drink.

Bartender tips

  • Brew the tea the evening before and chill it overnight; then the smoothie takes two minutes.
  • Frozen berries make the smoothie colder and thicker without ice.

Variations

Mixed berries
Use a frozen mixed berry blend instead of blueberries.
