2 servings
- 2 ripe pears, cored and roughly chopped (frozen preferred for a thicker texture)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tbsp carob powder
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/2 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp ceylon cinnamon
Ingredient noteTrue ceylon cinnamon is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid true ceylon cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ cup ice cubes (omit if using frozen pear) (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Add the pear, coconut milk, carob powder, ginger, maple syrup, and Ceylon cinnamon to a blender. Add the ice, if using.
- 2
Blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds, until completely smooth with no visible pear chunks.
