2 servings
- 2 ripe pears, cored and roughly chopped
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
Ingredient noteFresh ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the amount used here (~1 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.
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
Ingredient noteTurmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 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.
