This one tastes a bit like apple pie filling in liquid form, only fresh. Apple and pear give fruitiness, milk the creaminess, and coconut oil a subtle tropical warmth.
1 tsp
coconut oil melted if solid
1
apple cored
½
pear cored
6 oz
milk
Garnish: Apple slice · Ice: Served up, no ice
Coconut Apple Smoothie with Pear
Mild and creamy, with fresh apple, soft pear and a faint coconut aroma.
Apples and pears are available all year and make an easy, inexpensive smoothie base. Blended with milk they become soft and creamy, similar to a fruit shake. Apples provide fibre, much of it in the skin, and milk adds protein and calcium. The teaspoon of coconut oil gives a delicate coconut aroma; since it is mostly saturated fat, a small amount is enough. A pinch of cinnamon turns the glass into an autumn favourite. Good for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
It adds a light coconut aroma and a rounder mouthfeel. It is mostly saturated fat, so a teaspoon is enough, and you can leave it out.
Yes, oat or almond milk works well and makes it vegan.
No, just wash it; the skin blends in well.
