Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe pears, cored and roughly chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, packed
- 0.5 cup cold water or coconut water
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled (optional)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 4-6 ice cubes ice cubes
Instructions
- 1
Prepare your ingredients by washing the spinach and pears thoroughly. Core and roughly chop the ripe pears, and peel the fresh ginger if you are using it. This preparation ensures all components are ready for blending.
- 2
Add the chopped pears, packed fresh spinach leaves, cold water or coconut water, and optional peeled ginger to a high-speed blender. Ensure the liquid is at the bottom to help the blades catch the solids.
- 3
Secure the lid and blend on a low speed for about 30 seconds to begin breaking down the ingredients, then increase to high speed and blend for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and no leafy green bits remain visible. You should hear a consistent whirring sound as it liquefies.
- 4
Add the lemon juice and ice cubes to the blender. Continue to blend on high for another 30-60 seconds, or until the ice is fully crushed and incorporated, making the juice wonderfully cold and slightly thicker. The mixture should have a vibrant green hue and a smooth, pourable consistency.
- 5
Taste the juice and adjust the flavor if needed; you can add a touch more lemon juice for brightness or a tiny bit of honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter, blending briefly again to incorporate. Pour the refreshing gluten-free pear spinach juice into glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Tips & Notes
- Squeeze excess moisture from thawed frozen spinach in a clean towel before adding it, or the dish will be watery.
- Zest the lemon before juicing — it's nearly impossible to zest after the lemon is squeezed.
- Toast desiccated coconut in a dry pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring, for a deeper flavor.
