Equipment

Blender
Sharp knife
Apple corer

Ingredients

½ can lychee in syrup (about 8 lychee, or fresh lychee)
2 small pears diced
1 cup non-dairy milk
1 tablespoon shelled hemp seeds
1 teaspoon maple syrup
½ tablespoon mint leaves optional

Instructions

Dice the pears into small pieces to blend, removing their core, stems and seeds.
Add all the ingredients to your blender, and blend to a thick smoothie. Pour into your glasses, add ice to taste and serve immediately.

Notes

If you prefer to use fresh lychee, then I suggest adding a tiny touch of apple juice to give a little more sweetness. You may also need a little more milk for a thinner consistency.
Add around a tablespoon of the syrup if using canned lychee, not too much more as it will thin the smoothie too much.
The pears don't need to be even in size when dicing as they will be blended. But make sure to remove the stems, seeds and core.
Be sure to use shelled hemp seeds as they are softer in texture.
