½cupOrange juicefreshly squeezed
1tsp.Agave syruplight
Instructions
Slice both ends of the prickly pear off. Make one long vertical slice down the body of the prickly pear. Peel back the skin, by pushing it back with a knife or your hand. The skin should come right off, and you should be left with just the prickly pear.
Place peeled prickly pears in blender with 1 cup of water. Blend at the lowest speed for 1 minute.
Strain and discard the seeds and pulp.
Place prickly pear juice back in the blender, with orange juice, and agave syrup. Blend until smooth.
