A little fresh lemon makes a big difference: it wakes up the mild sweetness of the pear and gives this creamy yoghurt smoothie a bright, clean finish.
1
pear large and ripe, cored
¼ oz
lemon juice about a quarter lemon
2 tbsp
natural yoghurt
3½ oz
water
1 tsp

Pear Lemon Smoothie with Yoghurt
Creamy and fresh, sweet pear with a clear lemon tang and a soft yoghurt body.
Pears are sweet and mild but can taste a little flat on their own. Lemon juice solves that, adding acidity and freshness and also keeping the pear from browning. Natural yoghurt makes the smoothie creamy and slightly tangy, with a texture close to a light lassi.
It is a simple, quick recipe for any season, as pears and lemons are always available. A good breakfast or a light dessert in a glass.
Yes, lime gives a slightly more aromatic, tropical note.
Yes, use plant-based yoghurt.
Only with plant-based yoghurt and agave syrup.
