About this smoothie

Raspberries bring fresh acidity and a strong fruity aroma, pears contribute mild sweetness and a smooth texture. Natural yogurt adds tang and some protein, milk makes the drink creamy without being heavy.

Without banana this smoothie is lighter and fresher than many creamy smoothies, which makes it a good choice for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Use a ripe, fragrant pear for the best result.

Bartender tips

  • Frozen raspberries make it thicker without ice.
  • A teaspoon of honey helps if the berries are very tart.
