About this smoothie
Lupin yogurt is a plant-based alternative made from the seeds of sweet lupins, a legume that is also grown in Europe. It is fairly neutral in taste and naturally rich in protein, which makes it a good match for fruit smoothies.
Mixed berry blends usually combine raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and redcurrants. They are frozen soon after harvest and are available all year. The pear adds natural sweetness and juice, so this smoothie works as a filling breakfast without added sugar.
Bartender tips
Let the frozen berries sit for five minutes before blending if your blender struggles with hard fruit.
Replace the milk with a soy or oat drink and the smoothie is fully plant based.
Variations
With natural yogurt
Use the same amount of natural yogurt or Greek yogurt instead of lupin yogurt.
