Creamy and sweet with vanilla-like cherimoya, bright strawberry and juicy pear.
Cherimoya comes originally from the Andes and is grown today in Spain, South America and other warm regions. Its flesh is creamy and sweet, but the large black seeds must be removed as they are not edible. It is ripe when the skin yields slightly to pressure, similar to an avocado.
Strawberries add colour and acidity, the pear extra juice. The smoothie is dessert-like and fits a relaxed breakfast or an afternoon treat.
No, the seeds should not be eaten or blended. Remove them all.
The skin turns slightly darker and yields to gentle pressure.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
