Creamy Pear Smoothie

I’m a little in love with pears in smoothies! This is a quick and yummy breakfast option on the adrenal nutrition plan (omit the honey if you’re still in the initial 2-week blood sugar reset). Frozen cauliflower gives the smoothie the same creamy texture that banana does (without the extra sugar) - woot!

 

This recipe also complies with our low-histamine & low-hydrogen sulphide diet guidelines.

 

1–2 g ginger root

1 pear

1/2 cup frozen cauliflower

2 tbsp rolled GF oats

1 tbsp macadamia butter

1 tbsp flaxseed oil

1 cup coconut milk

1 scoop collagen protein powder (like NutraOrganics or ATP Science NoWay)*

½ tbsp raw honey

 

Place ginger root in a high-speed blender and blend until fine.

Add all other ingredients and blend for 30 seconds, or until smooth and creamy!

 

*Note: use collagen powder with caution if you are histamine or hydrogen sulphide intolerant. I'd advise trying quarter of the amount first, to see how well you tolerate it.
