Chef tips
For an even silkier texture, chill the pear and kefir beforehand. If the smoothie is too thick, add an extra 30 to 60 ml of kefir or cold water.
Substitutions
You can replace the honey with maple syrup for a strictly vegetarian version. Kefir can be swapped for plain drinkable yogurt, though the texture will be slightly thicker. Oats can be replaced with quinoa flakes for a gluten-free option if certified.
