I make this smoothie at least twice a week when I can buy pears. When my son asks for it he says: “Mommy, can you make that brown pudding?” Yes, he knows it as the brown pudding. A very delicious description!
This pear coconut chia smoothie can be a great snack, a great dessert, and a great addition to breakfast. It is light, mildly sweet, and a little bit crunchy. If you would like to make it sweeter, add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
This smoothie is rich in:
- Fiber, copper, vitamins C and K, and phytonutrients from pear
- Vitamin B6, manganese, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber from banana
- Healthy fats, fiber, protein, manganese, phosphorus, and calcium from chia seeds
- Fiber, copper, manganese, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus from raw cacao
- Healthy fats from coconut milk
