Cold Pear & Avocado Puree
Canned or perfectly ripe pears are naturally very low in acid, meaning they will not sting raw mouth tissues. Blending them with avocado provides a gentle dose of healthy, calorie-dense fats that digest slowly, helping to stabilize an unstable, nauseous stomach without requiring any chewing.
Gentle for a sore mouth, nausea.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
- 1/2 cup canned pears in 100% juice (drained, no heavy syrup)
- 1–2 tbsp of the pear juice (from the can)
How to make it
- Place the avocado halves and the drained canned pears into a blender or small food processor.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved pear juice to help lubricate the blades.
- Blend on high until the mixture is completely uniform, smooth, and free of lumps.
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to serve chilled for a numbing, comforting effect on the throat.
