Secrets
- Truly ripe, fragrant pears (Comice or Williams).
- Two tablespoons of rolled oats bind the smoothie without needing banana.
- Greek yogurt for an even creamier texture.
When the pears in your fruit bowl turn ripe and juicy, five minutes in the blender with milk, yogurt and a spoonful of rolled oats make a silky, satisfying drink.
No need for ice cubes in the fall: serve it cool but not freezing, topped with a pinch of cinnamon and a few chopped walnuts.
