Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the chopped ripe pear, ground ginger, fine sea salt, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes. Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check the consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons of additional milk. If too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen pear chunks and blend again.
Pour the smoothie into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

For a creamier texture, substitute milk with a plant-based milk like almond or oat. To make ahead, prepare the fruit and freeze it to use as ice cubes.
