Instructions
  1. 1

    Prep the pears

    Rinse the pears and cut them into chunks, skin on. Most of the good stuff lives in the peel, and once it's blended you'll never know it's there. About 2 medium pears gets you to a pound.

  1. 2

    Grate the ginger

    Grate 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger. If you're ginger-shy, start with a teaspoon or two and work up. A full tablespoon is bold but it doesn't bully the pear.

  2. 3

    Load the blender

    Add the pears, almond milk, Greek yogurt, grated ginger, and ice to the blender in that order. Liquid near the blades first makes for an easier blend.

  3. 4

    Blend and serve

    Blend until completely smooth, 30 to 60 seconds. Pour into two glasses and drink it right away while it's cold and frothy.

Notes & Tips

This one surprised me. No added sugar at all, but the ripe Bosc pears bring enough honey-sweetness that you don't miss it, and the ginger does this warm, zippy thing that people can never quite name. The Greek yogurt makes it thick and creamy instead of watery. It tastes like fall in a glass. Use pears that are actually ripe and a little soft to the squeeze, otherwise it comes out flat.
