Banana Pear Smoothie

I drink a “green smoothie” every morning and this is one of my favorites! It is so easy to make and keeps you satisfied through the morning.

Ingredients:

1 cup of water
2 handfuls of spinach
1 pear
1 banana
1/3 cup almond butter

1. Mix the water and spinach first. I recommend always doing this when you make a green smoothie. It’s easier to blend in the other ingredients after. I use a Nutri Bullet System.

*Optional* I add in 1 tablespoon of Ground Flax Seeds in all my smoothies. I usually add half a scoop of protein powder, but omit it in this one because of the almond butter.

2. Add in the other ingredients and blend. If you want a thicker consistency I would use a frozen banana.

3. Enjoy!

Spinach is a power food. It’s loaded with vitamins, a good source of omega 3 fatty acids, and has anti cancer antioxidants.
Bananas are a great source of potassium and vitamin C.
Pears have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory flavonoids, and potentially anti-cancer phytonutrients like cinnamic acids. The skin of the pear has also been show to contain about half of the pear’s total dietary fiber.
Almonds reduce heart attack risk and lower “bad” cholesterol.
