Chef tips
For a cleaner flavor, use the tender inner stalks of the celery. If you want an extra silky texture, peel the pear before blending.
Substitutions
You can substitute the coconut milk with oat milk or almond milk, keeping in mind that allergens and dietary tags will change. Maple syrup can be replaced with honey if you do not need a vegan version.
