Recipe Add-ins & Variations
- For a Thicker Smoothie: Use frozen banana slices or frozen pear chunks instead of fresh fruit and ice. This creates a creamier, colder texture without watering it down.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the smoothie before adding the maple syrup. If your banana and pears are very ripe, you may not need the extra sweetness.
- Make it Vegan: This recipe is naturally vegan as written!
