A spoonful of sultanas is all the sweetener this smoothie needs. With apple, pear and almond milk it tastes a little like apple strudel, especially with a pinch of cinnamon.

Apple Pear Smoothie with Sultanas
Sweet and creamy with apple and pear, a raisin-like caramel note and a mild nutty finish.
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. Sultanas are dried white grapes; they bring concentrated sweetness and a light caramel note, so no sugar is needed. Almond milk adds creaminess and a mild nutty flavour. Together they create a comforting, dessert-like smoothie that still consists only of fruit and a plant drink. Good for breakfast or on a cool afternoon.
Yes. All ingredients are plant based.
Yes, dark raisins work too; the flavour is a bit deeper.
No, the sultanas and ripe fruit make it sweet enough.
