Pear and avocado are both soft, mild and creamy, so together they make an exceptionally smooth smoothie. A spoonful of yoghurt adds a gentle tang.

Pear Avocado Smoothie with Yoghurt
Very creamy and smooth, mildly sweet from the pear, with a light yoghurt tang.
Ripe pears bring juicy sweetness, avocado a velvety texture and mostly unsaturated fats, and a little natural yoghurt adds freshness and a light acidity. The result is creamy and mild, with no strong flavours competing.
Because of the avocado and yoghurt it is quite filling, which makes it a good breakfast or post-workout snack. The pale green colour is prettiest when the smoothie is served fresh. A squeeze of lemon helps it stay green a little longer.
Yes, use plant-based yoghurt and agave syrup.
It is best fresh; the avocado slowly darkens. Covered in the fridge, it keeps a few hours.
Yes, it will be even creamier and more filling.
