Pear Strawberry Smoothie with Yoghurt
Creamy and fruity, with pear sweetness up front and a light yoghurt tang at the end.
Pears are often overlooked in smoothies, yet a ripe one blends into a smooth, juicy base with a delicate floral sweetness. Strawberries add colour, acidity and vitamin C. Natural yoghurt turns the mix creamy and contributes protein and calcium, and its mild sourness keeps the sweetness in check. Water keeps the drink light rather than heavy. It makes a good breakfast with a slice of toast or a refreshing snack on a warm afternoon.
