PEAR GINGER SMOOTHIE

Pear Ginger Smoothie | This pear ginger smoothie is full of fiber, protein and greens! It's the perfect healthy way to start the day!



It turns out if you dice up a couple of pears and freeze them, they make an excellent addition, not to mention one that’s full of fiber to this green smoothie. The fresh grated ginger is perfect if your stomach is all sorts of angry with you from the not so healthy foods you’ve been indulging in. Not only does that freshness give you a cleansing feeling, but it can also help soothe that bloated, grumbling, upset stomach. To give the smoothie a healthy dose of protein to keep me full until lunch, I added Greek yogurt and almond butter, works like a charm every time. Let’s ditch the cookies for breakfast and the chocolates for snacking and replace them with this pear ginger smoothie instead!
