Pear Apple Smoothie with Milk

Taste

Mild, creamy and gently sweet, with soft pear and a fresh apple note.

About this smoothie

This is one of the plainest smoothies you can make, using fruit that is available all year. The pear brings a soft, juicy sweetness, the apple a crisp freshness, and milk turns them into a creamy, pale drink. Both fruits are good sources of fiber, much of it in the skin.

Because the flavors are gentle, a pinch of cinnamon or a little vanilla suits it well and makes it taste of autumn. A ripe pear is important: it gives the smoothie its creaminess, whereas a hard pear leaves it grainy. Good for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.

Bartender tips

  • Peel the apple if your blender leaves bits of skin behind.
  • A pinch of cinnamon or vanilla gives it a warm, autumnal flavor.

Variations

Dairy-free
Use oat drink instead of milk; its natural sweetness suits the fruit.

Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, it is mild, sweet from the fruit alone and contains no added sugar.

Can I use plant milk?

Yes, oat or almond drink both work well.

Why is my smoothie grainy?

Usually the pear was not ripe. Use a soft pear or blend a little longer.
