AIP Friendly Blueberry, Pear & Ginger Smoothie
This smoothie is a genuinely beautiful way to start the morning — deep purple from the frozen blueberries, naturally sweet from a ripe pear, and with just enough warmth from fresh ginger and Ceylon cinnamon to make it feel like something special. Full-fat coconut milk gives it a rich, creamy body without any dairy, which is exactly what makes it such a natural fit for an elimination-style approach to eating. Every single ingredient here is whole and recognizable, so there's no label-squinting or second-guessing what you're putting in your body. The ginger and Ceylon cinnamon aren't just flavor additions — they bring a gentle, grounding spice that makes this taste far more complex than a two-minute blend has any right to. A touch of honey rounds everything out without overwhelming the fruit. It makes two generous servings, so it's perfect for sharing or saving one for a midday pick-me-up.
