About this recipe
Apple and Pear Detox Juice with the Thermomix TM7 is the kind of quick breakfast drink that fits effortlessly into a busy morning routine. If you have been searching for a green juice recipe for your all-in-one kitchen machine, this combination of ripe pear, sweet apple and fresh spinach leaves is a fantastic place to start. The TM7 blends the whole fruit rather than extracting the juice, so you keep all the fibre while still enjoying a silky, drinkable texture. The ice cubes and a splash of water chill the juice instantly, giving it that freshly pressed juice-bar feel without leaving your kitchen. Because everything goes straight into the mixing bowl, there is no juicer to dismantle and scrub afterwards. Serve it in tall glasses at breakfast, after a workout, or as an afternoon refreshment on a warm day. It is also an excellent way to use up pears that have become slightly overripe, since their natural sweetness intensifies as they soften. Children who are hesitant about greens often accept them happily when hidden among apple and pear.
Preparation tips
- Use really ripe pears for this Apple and Pear Detox Juice, as soft fruit blends into a much silkier texture and adds natural sweetness without any added sugar. Firm, unripe pears tend to leave small flecks in the juice.
- Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly just before blending, even pre-washed bags, because grit settles invisably between the leaves and ruins the smooth drinking experience of the finished juice.
- For a clearer, more refined juice, pour the blended mixture through a fine sieve and press gently with a spatula. Serve immediately in chilled glasses so the ice-cold freshness of the apple and pear is preserved.
- Make it kid-friendly by replacing the spinach with a small handful of seedless grapes or extra apple; the juice turns a lighter colour and tastes purely of sweet pear and apple. Freeze the juice in lolly moulds for a playful summer treat.
Recipe variations
- Green detox variation: add a few fresh mint leaves and a squeeze of lime to the pear, apple and spinach blend for a zesty, mojito-style juice that tastes brighter and even more refreshing on hot days.
- Seasonal winter version: swap the pear for two clementines and a small piece of fresh ginger, keeping the apple and spinach base, for a warming, immunity-friendly juice that suits the colder months perfectly.
