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.
