A ripe pear gives this green smoothie its juicy sweetness, and lamb's lettuce adds a fresh, slightly nutty note. Chia seeds make it a little thicker the longer it stands.

Light and juicy with soft pear sweetness and a fresh green note, thickening gently from the chia.
Pear and leafy greens are a gentle pairing: the pear is juicy and mild, so it lets the greens come through without any bitterness. Lamb's lettuce is one of the mildest salad leaves and is in season in winter. Chia seeds, known for their fibre and plant omega-3 fatty acids, give the smoothie body. A few drops of agave syrup are optional.
The result is a light, fully plant-based glass, good for breakfast or a mid-morning break.
Yes, baby spinach works just as well and is equally mild.
Yes, with agave syrup it is completely plant based.
Only if your pear is not very ripe. Ripe pears are usually sweet enough.
