Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Homemade Date Syrup (or 1 to 2 dates, pitted and soaked in hot water to soften)
- 1 pear, cored and chopped
- 3 cups kale, chopped
- 1 kiwi, chopped (peeling the kiwi is optional)
- ½ cup cucumber, chopped
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut water
- 1 cup Ice
- ½ tsp unsweetened shredded coconut (optional topping)
Instructions
- Add pear, kiwi, cucumber, kale, homemade date syrup, coconut water, and ice to a high-speed blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour this pear and kale smoothie into two glasses. If using, top with an optional pinch of unsweetened shredded coconut. Enjoy!
Notes
- We used a D'Anjou pear in this recipe, but you can use whatever pear you'd like.
- No kiwi? Use fresh or frozen pineapple chunks instead.
- Okay to substitute celery for cucumber.
- If you don't have homemade date syrup on hand, place 1 to 2 pitted dates into a small bowl of hot water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften. This makes it easier to blend.
- Leftovers keep well in an airtight container, like a mason jar with a lid, in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
