Apple Pear Smoothie with Almond Milk

Taste

Mild and creamy with sweet pear, fresh apple and a light nutty note.

About this smoothie

Apples and pears are available all year and are among the most affordable smoothie fruits. Blended whole, they keep their fibre, which gives the drink body and a naturally sweet base. Almond milk is light, mildly nutty and free of dairy and soy. It makes the smoothie creamier than water without weighing it down. The result is simple, mild and naturally sweet, a smoothie that suits almost everyone, including children, and works any time of the year for breakfast or as a snack.

Bartender tips

  • A pinch of cinnamon turns it into a cosy autumn smoothie.
  • For a thicker drink, freeze the pear pieces beforehand.

Variations

With dates
Blend in one or two pitted dates for a caramel-like sweetness.

Frequently asked questions
