About this smoothie

This is a gentle everyday smoothie: banana for body and sweetness, pear for juiciness and a floral aroma, and almond drink for a light, nutty base. Two spoonfuls of natural yoghurt add freshness and make it more filling.

Bananas provide potassium, pears fibre, and yoghurt protein and calcium. Because it is mild and not too sweet, it suits children and adults alike, as a quick breakfast or an afternoon snack.

Bartender tips

  • A pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract give it a dessert like touch.
  • Frozen banana slices make it thicker and colder.

Variations

Vegan version
Use soy or almond yoghurt instead of natural yoghurt.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use cow's milk?

Yes, it makes the smoothie a little richer.

Is it vegan?

Not with dairy yoghurt; a plant based yoghurt makes it vegan.

Can I prepare it the night before?

It keeps for a day in the fridge in a closed jar; the pear may darken slightly, so shake before drinking.
