Roasting pears before blending makes their flavor even more concentrated and juicy in this rich, cinnamon-spiked smoothie. Roast a large batch of pears to prepare smoothies throughout the week, or freeze them to enjoy fall’s most elegant fruit even longer.

Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place pear halves, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
Turn pear halves over and continue roasting until juicy and meltingly tender, about 10 minutes more. Let cool. Pears will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Combine pear, almondmilk, tofu, flaxseed and cinnamon in a blender and blend until smooth.
Add ice and blend again until smooth.
Pour into 2 or 3 tall glasses and garnish with pear slices.
