  • ½ Pint Water

Method:

1.  Wash your ingredients.

3. Cut open your apples and pears and remove the seeds and stems.

9. Scoop in the passion fruit.

10. Throw in the rest of your fruit and veg into the blender (if struggling for space grab a potato masher and squish them down).

11. Attach your blender to the rest of it (this step is important if the bottom of your blender leaks when you add liquid).

12.  Add the XCT oil and water.
