Pear and hazelnut is a pairing from the pastry kitchen, and in a smoothie it tastes almost like a pear tart. Coconut milk makes it creamy and rounds off the nuttiness.

hazelnuts
5 oz
canned coconut milk
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and nutty, with juicy pear sweetness and a soft coconut finish.
Pears and hazelnuts are both at their best in autumn and have been paired in cakes and tarts for a long time. Blended with coconut milk they make a mellow, nutty smoothie. Hazelnuts contribute vitamin E and healthy fats, pears fibre and natural sweetness.
Blanched (peeled) hazelnuts blend more smoothly and taste milder than nuts with skin. Soak them for 30 minutes if your blender is not very strong. A good breakfast smoothie for a cool morning.
Yes, 1 tbsp hazelnut butter replaces the whole nuts.
Only if your blender struggles; 30 minutes in water is enough.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
