TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE PERFECTLY
- The ripeness of your banana will affect the sweetness of the recipe. Ripe bananas with a few black spots are much sweeter. If you'd like an even sweeter smoothie you can add 1 or 2 medjool dates for added sweetness and extra fiber. However, this is totally optional. If your smoothie is sweet enough just leave it as is.
- Depending on your preferred smoothie texture, you might need more or less oat milk(or other plant-based milk). Start small, then blend in more as needed. If it's too thick, add more as you blend until the texture is perfect.
STORAGE
The best way to enjoy this pear and banana smoothie is to whip it up just moments before consuming it.
If left for too long before drinking, all the delightful flavors will separate into layers with unfavorably altered taste and texture - making this pear smoothie best enjoyed fresh off the blender!
