Buttermilk Or Keffir Pear Smoothie
This pear smoothie is delicious. Buttermilk is low-fat (generally 1%) and nutritious, and so is keffir, a Russian-style fermented milk product (available at large grocery and health food stores).
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe pear, peeled, cored and chopped
- 1 cup (250 mL) buttermilk or keffir
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) Toasted Wheat Germ (see below)
- 2 tsp (10 mL) liquid honey
Preparation
Blend together pear, buttermilk or keffir, wheat germ and honey.
Makes 1 serving.
More Information
Toasted Wheat Germ In dry skillet, toast 1/4 cup/60 mL wheat germ over medium heat, shaking pan and stirring often, until fragrant and golden, 4 to 6 minutes; let cool. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 month.)
