Pear Yoghurt Smoothie with Mint

Taste

Creamy and mild, sweet from the pear, with a fresh apple note and a cool mint finish.

About this smoothie

Pear and dairy are a gentle, comforting combination: the soft, sweet fruit blends into a smooth, creamy drink with yoghurt and milk. Half a red apple adds freshness, and fresh mint gives the finish a light, cool note. The old recipe named mint in the title but not in the ingredients; it is included here.

Yoghurt and milk make the smoothie more filling than a water-based one, so it works well as a breakfast. Plant-based yoghurt and a plant drink make it dairy free.

Bartender tips

  • Chill the pear beforehand for a colder smoothie without ice.
  • Greek yoghurt makes it thicker; add a splash more milk if needed.

Variations

Vanilla pear
Replace the mint with a pinch of vanilla for a dessert-like smoothie.
