Sultanas sweeten this smoothie naturally and add a light raisin and caramel note. With juicy pear and almond milk, it tastes a little like a liquid pear strudel.

Mellow and sweet with juicy pear, raisin notes and a light nutty finish.
Sultanas are dried white grapes and taste sweet, fruity and slightly caramelised. Soaking them briefly in the almond milk softens them so they blend completely smooth, and they replace any added sugar. The ripe pear brings juiciness and body, and unsweetened almond milk adds a mild, nutty note.
The smoothie is vegan and suits autumn and winter breakfasts. Because dried fruit is concentrated in sugar, a small amount is enough.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes, dark raisins taste slightly stronger and colour the drink darker.
No, almond milk is made from nuts; use oat milk instead.
