Avocado-Pear Smoothie

 


Avocado provides folic acid, fiber, and monounsaturated fatty acids; pear adds extra soluble fiber and sweetness.

 

  • 1 ripe, firm Hass avocado
  • ½ cup (about 4 ounces) drained silken tofu
  • 1 cup unsweetened pear juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups ice cubes

 

Cut avocado in half lengthwise; remove pit, then score flesh into cubes. With a large spoon, scrape flesh into a blender. Add tofu, pear juice, honey, and vanilla, and puree until smooth. Add ice; blend until smooth. Divide among four glasses, and serve.
