A spoon of yogurt changes this green smoothie a lot: it turns creamier, paler and noticeably milder. Rocket and ginger are still there, but in the background.
1
pear ripe, cored
½
green apple cored
10 g
rocket
15 g
baby spinach
5 g
ginger peeled
1½ tbsp
natural yogurt
5 oz
water
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and mildly tangy, fruity from pear and apple, with a light peppery and gingery finish.
This is the rounder version of the pear and rocket smoothie. Baby spinach adds more green without much flavour of its own, and natural yogurt contributes creaminess, a little tang and some protein. Pear and apple keep it fruity and sweet enough without sugar.
Because of the yogurt it is a bit more filling, which makes it a good breakfast option. If you want it plant based, a soy or coconut yogurt works just as well.
Not with dairy yogurt. With a plant based yogurt it is.
Yes, you then get a lighter, fresher smoothie similar to the pear rocket version.
Drink it within a few hours and keep it cold; stir before drinking.
