Ingredients
  

  • 1 large ripe pear cored and chopped, preferably Bartlett or Bosc
  • 1 ripe banana peeled and frozen
  • 1 cup kale leaves tightly packed, fresh
  • 1/2 ripe avocado peeled
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 3 cubes ice
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt optional

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting Board and Knife
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients. Wash the kale leaves thoroughly and remove the tough stems. Core and chop the pear, and peel and freeze the banana if you haven't already done so. Make sure to have your avocado ready to go.
  2. In your blender, add the chopped pear, frozen banana, kale leaves, and half of the avocado. Grate the fresh ginger directly into the blender, adjusting the amount based on your ginger preference. Add the ice cubes, almond milk, and yogurt.
  3. Blend on high until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Taste your smoothie and adjust the flavors if necessary. If you’d like it sweeter, you can add a touch of honey or maple syrup. For more zing, add an extra pinch of ginger.
  5. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass or a mason jar. You can garnish it with a slice of pear or a sprinkle of chia seeds for an extra touch. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture!

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, use a ripe avocado.
  • Feel free to substitute almond milk with any preferred milk alternative.
  • This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
