Pear Smoothie

When the air gets colder and drier as autumn progresses, I must take care of my lungs. Pears, both Asian and Western, can soothe lungs from dry air, so I particularly enjoy pear sm oothies during this season. I add ginger to the juice to counter the cooling characteristics of pear. Banana adds its friendly flavor to the drink. The weight of these fruits does not need to be precise. One peeled small banana is just about 3.5 ounce. One medium peeled and seeded pear is about 5 to 6 ounces. I just add ¼ cup water, but can be ½ or more to loosen it. It is all one’s own preference. Which pear do you choose? Asian pear is super crisp, fragrant, and juicy. Red Anjou is mildly sweet and juicy. Green Anjou has a refreshing lemony aroma and mild sweetness. All make delicious drink. Ingredients 3.5 ounce peeled banana 5 to 6 ounces peeled and seeded pear ¼ cup water Pinch sea salt 1 teaspoon grated ginger 2 teaspoons lemon juice 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey Instructions Place all ingredients in the juicer mixer, and process until smooth. Serve the smoothie in a tall glass or in two short glasses. Show more
