Ingredients
- 2 ripe pears, cored and chopped
- 1 thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, peeled
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Optional: sliced pear and a sprinkle of ground ginger for garnish
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the chopped pears and peeled ginger. The fruity aroma of the pears mixed with the spicy scent of fresh ginger will instantly awaken your senses.
- Add the Greek yogurt, milk, and honey. Blend until smooth and creamy. You’ll notice the mixture becoming thick and velvety.
- Sprinkle in the cinnamon and add the ice cubes. Blend again until the ice is fully crushed and the smoothie is chilled to perfection.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a slice of pear and a light sprinkle of ground ginger.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- Substitutions: If you don’t have Greek yogurt, regular yogurt will work just fine. For a vegan version, use coconut yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Presentation: For a touch of luxury, serve in a chilled glass. This adds a refreshing chill to every sip.
- Adjustments: This smoothie makes a great party drink as well. Simply multiply the ingredients based on the number of servings you need.
Storage and Substitutions
- Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Stir well before serving again.
- Substitutions: If fresh pears are not available, canned pears in juice (not syrup) can be used as an alternative.
Pairings and Complements
Pair this Ginger Pear Smoothie with a light and flaky pastry, such as a croissant or a fruit scone. For a more savory option, toast with avocado and a sprinkle of sea salt makes for a balanced and satisfying breakfast.
