Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups pears peeled, cored, and roughly chopped (about 2 medium pears)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any non-dairy milk
- 1/2 cup plain dairy-free yogurt such as coconut or almond yogurt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or to taste
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt optional
- 4 ice cubes optional for a chilled version
Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh; store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and reheat gently on the stove or blend again. Make-ahead: Prep pears and measure spices the night before. Variations: Add a banana for extra creaminess, swap pears for apples, or stir in rolled oats for thickness. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or extra sprinkle of cinnamon.
