Instructions

Add all ingredients plus your optional add-ins into the carafe of a high-power blender. Blend on high until very smooth and creamy. Serve immediately.

Notes

Canned pears are a great way to add sweetness and creaminess to smoothies without adding a banana. Make sure to get canned pears that are canned in their own juice only—not in syrup.
In this smoothie, we add instant coffee powder to get that mocha flavor. I really like the decaf Italian Roast Via from Starbucks. If you aren't a coffee fan, you can skip this ingredient.
