Creamy and juicy with sweet pear up front and a gentle peppery finish.
Pear and rocket (arugula) is a well-loved salad pairing, and it translates well to the blender. The ripe pear provides sweetness and juice, the rocket a mustardy bite, and the avocado a creamy body with mostly unsaturated fats.
Coconut water keeps the smoothie light, and a little agave syrup can round it off if the pear is not very sweet. It suits a late breakfast or a light lunch.
