It is perfect for breakfast, a quick snack, or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Variations
I sometimes add spinach or kale for extra greens without changing the flavor too much.
When I want a colder and thicker smoothie, I use frozen blueberries or frozen banana slices.
For extra protein, I mix in vanilla protein powder or additional Greek yogurt.
I also enjoy adding cinnamon or ginger for a warm, spiced flavor that pairs beautifully with pear.
storage/reheating
I store leftover smoothie in a sealed jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
Before drinking leftovers, I shake or stir the smoothie well because natural separation may occur.
I do not reheat smoothies since they are best served cold and fresh.
