Buttermilk Or Keffir Pear Smoothie

Homemakers Best Tested
By
The Homemakers Test Kitchen
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.
