Banana Pear Smoothie with Apple and Oat Milk

Pear and apple give this oat milk smoothie a soft orchard flavour, and banana makes it round and creamy. It is mild enough for children and for mornings when you want nothing sharp.

About this smoothie

Oat milk has become one of the most popular plant drinks for smoothies because its natural grain sweetness pairs so easily with fruit. Here it meets banana for body and two orchard fruits: juicy pear for fragrance and red apple for a little crispness and acidity.

All three fruits bring fibre, especially if you leave the skins on. With no added sugar and no dairy, this is an easy everyday smoothie for breakfast or a light snack.

Bartender tips

  • A very ripe, soft pear gives the best fragrance; hard pears taste starchy.
  • Add 1 tsp lemon juice if you want to keep the colour bright for longer.

Variations

Autumn spice
Add a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of ground ginger for a baked apple note.
