Adding raw oats to this shake produces a pleasantly chewy texture while providing fiber, which helps keep cholesterol levels in check.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 medium to large pears peeled, and chopped (2 2/3 cups)
- 1 3/4 cups skim milk
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 2/3 cup rolled or quick-cooking oats
- 1/3 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 1/4 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish
- Coarse salt
Method:
- Freeze pears in a single layer on a baking sheet overnight.
- Combine pears, milk, buttermilk, oats, ice, maple syrup, almond butter, ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend on low speed, then gradually increase speed to high. Blend until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour into chilled glasses, and garnish with ground cinnamon. Serve immediately.
Cook’s Note
Freezing the pears overnight reduces the amount of ice needed for blending the next day and results in a thick and creamy texture.

m = 170 and s = 30. Levels above 200 warrant attention. If 95 teenage boys are
examined, how many would you expect to have cholesterol levels greater than 225?

For years, I have had unusually low cholesterol readings – as low as 99 total cholesterol. For the same period of time I have been dealing with anxiety issues and depression. I recently found studies that linked the two. I have one child and notices that all my anxiety/depression issues resolved during pregnancy (a time when the body naturally raises the cholesterol levels) As such, I would like to raise my cholesterol levels in order to see if this is contributing to the anxiety – is their a safe way to do so?
