Pear Strawberry Smoothie with Yoghurt
Taste
Fruity and sweet, with ripe strawberry flavour, juicy pear and a light yoghurt creaminess.
About this smoothie
Strawberries bring bright, sweet-tart berry flavour and are known for their vitamin C. A ripe pear adds juiciness and a soft body, and a spoon of natural yoghurt makes the smoothie slightly creamy. The teaspoon of strawberry jam from the original recipe is a clever trick when strawberries are not fully ripe: it intensifies the flavour.
The result is a friendly, fruity smoothie that children usually like. Enjoy it for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
Bartender tips
Skip the jam when strawberries are in season and fully ripe.
Frozen strawberries make it thicker; add a little more water if needed.
Variations
Mint version
Blend in a few mint leaves for a fresher summer smoothie.
