Pear and ginger make a classic pairing, sweet and soft against spicy and sharp. Coconut water and a spoon of coconut oil add a mild coconut note and a rounder texture.

Light and smooth, with soft pear sweetness, a warming ginger bite and a mild coconut finish.
Fresh ginger gives this smoothie a pleasant warmth that builds slowly on the palate, and the ripe pear softens it with plenty of natural sweetness. Coconut water is light and slightly sweet; it contains potassium and makes a good base for fruit drinks. The coconut oil mostly adds flavour and a fuller mouthfeel.
This is a light smoothie for the morning or after a walk. Coconut oil solidifies below about 24 degrees, so melt it first and blend it with the lukewarm water or pear before adding anything very cold, otherwise small flakes remain.
Yes. The smoothie becomes lighter and a little less rounded, but still tastes good.

About 1 cm of fresh ginger gives noticeable warmth. Use less for a mild version and more if you like it hot.
