Almond milk gives this banana smoothie a light, nutty background, and half a pear keeps it fresh and juicy. It tastes a little like banana bread in a glass.

Banana Almond Smoothie with Pear
Creamy and mellow, with a nutty almond note, banana sweetness and a light pear freshness.
Banana and almond are a comfortable combination: the banana brings sweetness and creaminess, almond milk a mild nuttiness without the heaviness of whole nuts. The pear adds juice and a delicate floral note, and yogurt a gentle tang that stops the drink from being too sweet.
Bananas are a good source of potassium, which makes this a popular choice after sport as well as for breakfast. Unsweetened almond milk is the better choice here, as the fruit already brings plenty of sweetness. A pinch of cinnamon suits it well.
Not with dairy yogurt. Use a plant-based yogurt to make it vegan.
Yes, it makes the smoothie thicker and colder, almost like a milkshake.
Yes, oat drink makes it creamier, cashew drink even nuttier.
