Mild and creamy with soft fruit sweetness from banana and pear and a light oaty note.
About this smoothie
This is the basic version of the breakfast smoothie: fruit, grain and dairy in one glass. Rolled oats provide fibre and keep you full, yoghurt and milk add protein and creaminess, and banana and pear bring a gentle, natural sweetness.
Because there are no strong flavours, it is easy to adapt with cinnamon, berries or a spoon of nut butter. It suits children as well as adults and works for anyone who has little time or appetite early in the day.
Bartender tips
A pinch of cinnamon suits the pear very well.
Use very ripe fruit and you will not need any honey.
Variations
With nut butter
Blend in a teaspoon of almond or peanut butter for a nuttier, richer version.
