Pear Ginger Smoothie
Pear Ginger Smoothie is a creamy, high protein pear smoothie recipe with juicy Bosc pear, Greek yogurt and kick from fresh ginger. There's no added sugar making it a healthy smoothie alternative.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. 2 medium ripe bosc pears, peel on, cut into chunks
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 7 ounce container plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger*
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a blender and mix until smooth. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- *1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger root provides a flavor that you can taste but it's not overpowering. If you're unsure about it, try using 1-2 teaspoons first and add more if desired.
- I store my fresh ginger in a zip top bag in freezer. When I'm ready to use it, I grate the desired amount with my Microplane grater peel and all!
- You can use your favorite variety of pear in this smoothie, but I recommend Bosc pears as they're even juicier and sweeter than Bartlett pears.
- This smoothie is plenty sweet with no added sweetener. If you'd like a sweeter smoothie, use vanilla Greek yogurt or add the desired amount of honey or maple syrup.
- Make this pear smoothie dairy free by using dairy free yogurt. I love Sigi's plant-based coconut Greek yogurt in vanilla cinnamon flavor.
