* 1 cup milk (any kind - I use whole, raw milk but you may use the milk you prefer be it dairy or non dairy) * 1 large Bosc pear, cored (choose a pear that is verging on overripe rather than underripe for the sweetest, tastiest smoothie) * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract *
protein powder (optional - I like to add 1/2
scoop of Muscle Milk vanilla
protein powder, which is the
equivalent of approximately 13 grams
of protein) * ice cubes
