Cherimoya is often called the custard apple, and for good reason: its white flesh tastes of pear, banana and vanilla cream. Blended with milk and a little lamb's lettuce, it makes a very gentle green smoothie.

Very creamy and mild with a sweet, vanilla-like fruit flavour and a gentle nutty note.
Cherimoya is a subtropical fruit originally from the Andes region of South America. Its soft, creamy flesh is naturally sweet, while the large black seeds are not edible and must be removed completely. Lamb's lettuce adds a mild, nutty green note, and almond drink plus whole milk create a creamy base. The original recipe name mentions lamb's lettuce, so it is used here. A mild, dessert-like smoothie for breakfast.
Sweet and creamy, often described as a mix of pear, banana, pineapple and vanilla.
Not as written. Replace the milk with more almond drink and it is.
A ripe pear plus half a banana gives a similar mild, creamy result.
