Ginger Pear Green Smoothie

November 28, 2016

This Ginger Pear Green Smoothie recipe is packed with fresh good for you ingredients making this an ideal on the go breakfast or post workout snack.

Ginger Pear Green Smoothie
Raise your hand if you have the “it’s the Monday after a long holiday weekend” blues. {insert hand reaching high into the air!} Mondays after a holiday are so hard, am I right?

Luckily the Monday after Thanksgiving only means that it is officially the start of Christmas and so even though one holiday is technically over, there is still lots of holiday fun to be had!

I am sure many of you are busy decking the halls, baking cookies, blaring holiday music, and watching a marathon of cheesy holiday movies. We spent the weekend doing exactly those things, although we still have to get our tree up, and I can’t wait for more fun and traditions coming up in the weeks ahead!

Ginger Pear Green Smoothie
The last few weeks, between birthday celebrations, Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving, have been busy and tasty to say the least! Through all the delicious food and busy schedules I have strived to continue my balanced life style, enjoying picture perfect weather by taking multiple walks daily and starting my day drinking a tasty green smoothie; you know, so I can enjoy all those holiday pies and cookies.

This Ginger Pear Green Smoothie has been my go to smoothie the past few weeks. Recently I’ve been obsessed with fresh ginger, adding it to smoothies, muffins, soups, hot tea, currys and stir frys. Not only is fresh ginger a great way to add a fresh pop of spicy flavor, but fresh ginger has so many health benefits; including anti-inflammatory benefits, as well as can help with nausea and indigestion. Adding fresh ginger to this green smoothie, packed with other good for you foods and ingredients like peanut butter powder, protein packed Greek yogurt and vitamin rich spinach, makes this smoothie the perfect healthy and delicious breakfast and snack to carry you through this busy and tasty season!
