Vanilla Pear Smoothie (Vegan / Gluten free)
I love smoothies so much I consume one pretty much every single day. There are so many flavour combinations possible so what’s not to like?? This recipe tastes strongly of pear and vanilla, and is perfectly sweet thanks to the ripe pears and banana. There’s spinach in this recipe to add extra healthy goodness and a beautiful colour. If you want a creamier smoothie you can add (vegan) yogurt instead of the oat milk I used for this recipe, or try using frozen pears as well as a frozen banana. Either way this smoothie is delicious if you ask me! I hope you like it too! 🙂
Vanilla Pear Smoothie
This vanilla pear smoothie is sweet and satisfying, and sneaks in extra greens so you won't even notice you're eating veggies!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe pears I used two smaller sized pears. Peeled if you don't like the thick skin, but I kept the skin on.
- 1 large frozen banana (or two small)
- 1 handful spinach
- ½ cup ice water
- ½ cup oat milk or other plant milk for gluten free!
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- roasted coconut flakes for topping optional
Instructions
- Throw everything except the coconut flakes into a high speed blender and mix! Once it's completely smooth pour your smoothie into a big glass (or two smaller glasses) and top with the coconut flakes. Enjoy! 🙂
