Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe pear (I used Bartlett or Anjou), about 1 cup chopped
  • 1/2 cup frozen riced cauliflower
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
  • about 1/2 cup ice (not needed if pears are frozen)

Instructions

  • Slice the pear into large cubes and add it to the blender with the frozen cauliflower rice, protein powder (if using), ginger, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, milk, and vanilla. Add about 1/3-1/2 cup of ice.
  • Blend till smooth. Sweeten with honey, if needed. Enjoy this smoothie right after blending for the best creamy texture.

Notes

  • If you freeze the pear slices ahead, you will not need to use the ice, or need as much ice.
  • Cinnamon can be subbed for cardamom for a low histamine alternative. 
  • Protein powder is optional. I used pumpkin seed protein. 
  • Use oat milk or milk substitute of choice for dairy free.
