Coconut milk and coconut water share the liquid work here, one for creaminess, the other for lightness. Pear and banana sweeten, the avocado makes it velvety.

Creamy and mild, with juicy pear, a hint of banana and a soft coconut finish.
This smoothie is built for texture. Avocado and banana both blend into a thick, smooth base, and the pear keeps it juicy so it never feels heavy. Splitting the liquid between coconut milk and coconut water is a practical trick: you get the round coconut flavour of the milk while the water keeps the drink drinkable. It contains no dairy and no added sugar. Because it is quite filling, it fits well as breakfast or a late morning snack.
Yes. Use a whole pear instead of the banana; the drink gets a little less thick.
Yes, it is fully plant based.
Drink it within an hour or two, as avocado browns and the flavour turns flat.
