With its vibrant pink color and unique taste, the prickly pear smoothie is not only tasty, but also a healthy way to quench your thirst and boost your energy!
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 4-5 small prickly pears
- 1 banana
- 5 strawberries
- a little bit of apple juice
- 1 tbsp honey optional
Instructions
- Wash & peel the cactus fruit. Be really careful as they have tiny, barbed spines that are hard to see.
- Add all the fruit, apple juice, and honey to the blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Cactus fruit has a lot of edible seeds but they are really hard. So if your blender has not blended the seeds, you might want to strain your smoothie through a fine mesh strainer.
