I loved this fruity milk shake. I love that it's low-calorie, yet plenty thick and sweet. I made one change and used 1 teaspoon honey + 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in place of the sugars, otherwise as written. Delicious for my breakfast this morning! Thanks, Amanda! Made for PAC Fall 2008.

I doubled the recipe so I could use a whole pear (I know, I could just have eaten the other half)! Don't know how this changed the recipe's intent, but I also rounded the measure of sugar & then added 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring! Still, however it is supposed to taste, my drink was VERY ENJOYABLE! Really liked the inclusion of lemon juice & the cinnamon, too! Thanks for a very different, enjoyable drink!

I enjoyed this recipe. I left out the lemon juice since I did not have fresh. Next time I will also whirl some ice in there for a thicker, slushy texture. I used the whole pear. Why not? What would I do with 1/2 pear? :-) I might try nutmeg or cardamom instead of cinnamon next time! Thanks for the inspirational recipe.

Wow - the fates combined to get me to try this! I was reading it, just as my son was asking for juice, and I was thinking about some pears I have that are getting soft. :D Anyway, he and I made it together exactly as written, except for the vanilla sugar. I just added a couple drops of vanilla flavoring instead. Yum!! What a light, sweet drink that's healthy! I think in the future I'll sub Splenda for sugar, but this will be great in the summer. Thanks!

I was very pleased with the flavor of this and the consistency as well. I waffled of adding the lemon juice but I'm glad that I did, the touch of tartness was a plus factor. It was made with Splenda, fat free evaporated and skim milk in my house and for the vanilla sugar I used 1/8 tsp of vanillin. Made for Photo Tag.
