The pears and banana create this velvety texture that feels indulgent even though its completely wholesome and plant based.
Its quick enough to make on even your busiest mornings, yet feels like youre treating yourself to something special.

Freezing ripe banana chunks ahead of time eliminates the need for ice and creates an unbelievably creamy texture.
If your blender struggles with frozen ingredients, let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before blending.

For the ultimate creamy texture, freeze half the almond milk in an ice cube tray and use those instead of regular ice cubes.
A tiny pinch of cinnamon or cardamom elevates the pear flavor in a way that will make people ask for your secret ingredient.
