Half an avocado makes this smoothie thick enough to eat with a spoon. Pear brings the sweetness, while almond milk and a spoonful of coconut purée add a nutty, rounded depth.
½

Thick, velvety and mild, with pear sweetness and a nutty coconut finish.
Avocado is one of the few fruits rich in fat, mostly unsaturated fat, which is why it blends into such a silky texture. Coconut purée, also sold as coconut butter, is made from ground coconut flesh and adds a gentle coconut aroma without extra liquid.
This is a filling smoothie that works well as a breakfast on the go or after a workout. Because it is quite rich, one glass is usually enough.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
A teaspoon of almond butter or a tablespoon of desiccated coconut works well.
Better not: avocado browns and the flavour dulls within a few hours.
