Ingredients

Scale
- 4 ripe pears
- 1 cup water (if using a blender)
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the pear into large pieces that will fit through the feeding tube of a juicer. If you will be using a blender to make your juice, then cut your produce into smaller pieces than if you are using a juicer.
- If you are using a juicer, then run the fruit pieces through the juicer. Collect the juice in a pitcher, stir in the lemon juice and sweetener (optional), and serve immediately.
- If you are using a food processor or blender, add the pears, water, lemon juice, and sweetener (optional) to the base. Blend or process on high for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth.
- Then, pour the blended juice through a nut milk bag, squeezing it from the top down to drain the juice into a pitcher. Discard the collected pulp, or save it and use it for another purpose.
- Serve the juice immediately.
Notes
- You can easily double or triple this recipe for more servings.
- Fresh juice is best served right after it’s made. But, it can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- You can use any type of pear for this recipe, but they should be ripe.
- Depending on how sweet your pears are, you may not need any sweetener. If the juice is not sweet enough, stir in 1-2 teaspoons of sugar, honey, maple syrup, or your favorite sweetener.
