🍹 Ingredients For Tropical Pear Smoothie Recipe

• 1 ripe pear (cored and chopped)

• 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)

• 1/2 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen)

• 1 banana (preferably frozen)

• 1/2 cup coconut water or almond milk (adjust for consistency)

• 1/2 tsp grated ginger (optional, for a zesty kick)

• Juice of 1/2 lime (for brightness)

• Ice cubes (optional, if not using frozen fruit)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and chop the pear (no need to peel if organic). Peel and chop other fruits if using fresh.

2. Add to Blender: Combine all ingredients in a blender—start with the liquid (coconut water or almond milk), then fruits, ginger, lime juice, and ice (if using).

3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high for 45–60 seconds or until creamy and smooth.

4. Adjust Consistency: Add more liquid if it’s too thick, or more frozen fruit/ice if too thin.

5. Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. Garnish with a slice of lime or mint leaf if desired.

👨‍🍳 Notes & Tips:

• Pear Variety: Bartlett or Anjou pears work best for this recipe—they’re sweet and juicy.

• Make it Creamier: Add 1–2 tbsp of Greek yogurt or a splash of coconut cream.

• Add Protein: Blend in a scoop of vanilla protein powder or chia seeds.

• Sweetness Control: The banana and pear usually provide enough sweetness. Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup only if needed.

• Meal Prep Tip: Prep smoothie packs in advance by freezing the chopped fruits in zip-top bags.

🍽️ Servings:

• Makes 2 servings (about 12 oz / 350 ml each)
