About this smoothie

A light fruit smoothie that tastes of summer, with water as the only liquid. Strawberries and pineapple are both good sources of vitamin C, and together they balance sweetness and acidity nicely. Half a banana gives the texture some body. Mint adds freshness and works especially well with strawberries. The smoothie is refreshing on warm days and fits well as part of a light breakfast.

Bartender tips

Keep a bag of frozen strawberries ready; they replace ice and never water the smoothie down.
If your blender struggles, let the frozen strawberries thaw for five minutes first.
