Coconut Banana Pear Smoothie with Macadamia
Rich and creamy with sweet banana and pear and a buttery, nutty depth.
Macadamias come originally from Australia and have a mild, buttery taste with a high fat content, which makes them ideal for creamy drinks. Blended with ripe banana, juicy pear and milk, they give the smoothie a rich, round body. A teaspoon of coconut oil adds aroma without dominating.
Because of the nuts, this smoothie is filling and works as a breakfast on its own or as a substantial snack.
