As our fruit and veg bags hit our milkrounds, we wanted to share some ways you can get the most out of our seasonal produce, making sure that not a single piece of fruit ends up in the bin! How d’you like them apples?
What better way to make the most of your fruit supply than with a nutritiously good smoothie? Sweeter than Barbie and smoother than Justin Timberlake in the Bye Bye Bye music video, an apple and pear smoothie is always guaranteed to go down a treat. Blend them up into a sweet, creamy and milky drink and work towards that five-a-day goal! Plus, with all your fresh produce delivered to your door in recyclable paper bags, you can help save the planet all while enjoying a mouth-watering juicy treat.
Apple and Pear Smoothie Ingredients:
1 apple
1 pear
1 ripe banana (the more ripe, the better!)
1 cup milk of choice (we love our semi-skimmed milk delivery or oat drink the best!)
¼ cup Real Oaty porridge oats
1 tablespoon honey (or sweetener of choice)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Apple and Pear Smoothie Method:
- 1. Cut up your apple and pear and place any core or stems into your compost bin.
- 2. Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until creamy and smooth.
- 3. Pour out your apple and pear smoothie into a cup, and enjoy!
Want to make it extra-special?
- – Substitute cinnamon for some immune-boosting ginger – only a teaspoon should do!
- – Add a handful of spinach or kale to your apple and pear smoothie for extra nutrients
- – For those extra-busy days, add a spoonful of your favourite nut butter (peanut is our fave)! Not only does it contain healthy protein, but it’ll help you stay full for longer.
We hope you love this apple and pear smoothie recipe as much as we do!
