On the first day back from our trip to the APMAs in Cleveland, OH (see yesterday's blog post) we craved a refreshing and replenishing drink from the trusty Vitamix. The banana is typically my favorite base for most smoothies; however, having been away for a few days our fresh fruit supply was diminished. With pears the only fruit left in the bowl, it was a good time to improvise a new drink...
Peara Colada Smoothie:
2 Organic Bartlett Pears (cored and pealed - frozen will work if you eliminate the ice)
1 Cup of filtered water
3/4 Cup of Organic Pineapple Chunks (frozen - if fresh add more ice)
2 Tablespoons Shredded Organic Coconut (unsweetened)
1/4 Cup of ice
Place the ingredients in a high speed blender (we love the Vitamix) in the above order. Start blending on low and increase the speed gradually all the way up to high for about 20 seconds. The high speed is quite necessary in order to blend in the coconut.
This drink is light and sweet; a perfect way to help your body recover from getting out of your normal eating routine when traveling.
Makes 2 servings, so share!
