Instructions

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

Tips

Use ripe, juicy pears for a naturally sweet flavor and smooth texture. To make it vegan, substitute milk with any plant-based alternative.
