Creamy Pear Smoothie

This creamy pear smoothie is silky, fruity, and dessert-like enough to satisfy any sweet craving.

Ingredients

• 3 ripe pears, cored and chopped
• 1 frozen banana, sliced
• 1 cup vanilla yogurt
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 2 tablespoons whipped cream, for topping

Instructions

1. Wash, core, and chop the pears into chunks; leave the skin on for extra flavor if desired.
2. Add the pears, frozen banana, vanilla yogurt, heavy cream, milk, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to a blender.
3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
4. Add the ice cubes and blend again until thick, cold, and frothy.
5. Taste and add a little more honey if you want it sweeter.
6. Pour into chilled glasses and top with whipped cream before serving.

Tip: For an even richer dessert-style smoothie, chill the pears first and use full-fat vanilla yogurt for the creamiest texture.
