Pear Smoothie with Vanilla, Honey, and Lime Zest
A refreshing pear smoothie prepared with kefir, lightly sweetened with honey, and a touch of lime zest for brightness. Kefir is my all-time favorite dairy choice for smoothies! It has the tartness and tang of yogurt, but offers a much thinner consistency, making it perfect for blending.
