5. Serve immediately in chilled glasses. For a more elegant finish, garnish with a very thin fennel shaving or half a white grape.
Chef tips
For an even creamier texture, chill the pear and grapes for at least 30 minutes before making the smoothie. If your blender is less powerful, add the kefir and water first to help everything blend smoothly.
Substitutions
You can replace kefir with plain drinkable yogurt, though the texture will be slightly thicker. Honey can be swapped for maple syrup, or omitted entirely if the fruit is sweet enough.
