Servings: 2
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pear quartered with peel
- ½ avocado peeled and pitted
- 1 ½ cups coconut water divided
- ½ cup baby spinach
- 2 Tablespoons fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Combine pear, avocado, 3/4 cup coconut water, spinach and mint in high-powered blender and blend until smooth.
- Add remaining coconut water and blend until you get the consistency you like.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: If you want to save your smoothie for later, pour it into a glass container with an airtight lid (like a mason jar), fill to the top to minimize air, and refrigerate immediately. Add a splash of lemon or lime juice to help prevent oxidation. Best consumed within 24 hours — just shake and enjoy.
- Sweetener option: I personally think the natural sweetness from the pear is enough, but if you like your smoothies a little sweeter, feel free to add a medjool date, a touch of honey, or maple syrup.
