INGREDIENTS
SERVES 2,
MAKES 700 ml
• 2 frozen bananas
• 3 chopped soft pears*
• ½ cup chopped beetroot
• Any seasonal fruits and nuts for topping
Substitution In case pear is not available, use soft apples
PRE-PREPARATION
Take the bananas, peel, slice and put in the freezer for about 6 hours.
Method
1. Place the pears, beetroot and frozen bananas in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Pour this smoothie base into bowls, and top with any fresh seasonal fruits and nuts. I used papaya, chikoo, kiwi, coconut, pumpkin seeds, goji berries and chia seeds.
• Tip Nuts and seeds are great to add texture to your bowl, but eat them minimally as they are water-poor in nature. Focus on fresh, water-rich fruits for your topping.
• Tip Don’t forget to freeze your bananas. They are key to achieving a good texture for your smoothie base.
• Tip Make sure you use the soft variety of pears. They should sink in a little when pressed with your thumb.
