Green Smoothie Recipe Spinach Pear

Monday morning rolls around and we all like to pretend we’re back to eating healthy. Sort of. For the record, I don’t look down with hypocrisy in so-called “Monday Resolutions”; whether to start afresh, to start anew, to go on a clean slate after a weekend of foodie debauchery- the intent is always good. I was once a “Monday Resolutions” person myself; all good intentions but never a strong enough resolve to follow through with my plans. And whether I ended the week where I started it (or not, as it most often happened) I really did try every Monday to set the tone for what I would be eating during the week.

We constantly shoot each other down or mock each other at our many attempts to eat better. There’s the self deprecating jokes; I confess to having plenty. I was great at making fun of myself, I still do. I think it’s important to challenge yourself, to laugh at yourself and to infuse a healthy dose of dark humor. I am not talking negativity here, these are things that have helped me through hard times.

But looking back, when you start trying- that means something in you is waking up. You know something needs to change- but you need to want to change in order to get there. No one can do it for you. The trick to eating healthy also lies in making healthy food taste good. That’s not always easy, but it can be achieved! This smoothie is one such healthy drinks, that tastes, oh well, heavenly!! It’s all about:

Pear Ginger Lime Green Smoothie

I am writing this thinking I’ll be making lots and lots of these green beauties this week. And remember, I don’t drink green smoothies to lose weight; I drink them to detoxify, to get my energy levels up, to put something good & nourishing in my body. And to stay healthy year-round!

Last week was not an easy or good week by any account. Both my kids had bronchitis, one got it first and passed it on to the other & sure enough, once you have more than one child, diseases come in pairs. Any mamas reading this would be nodding right about now.

So I started drinking warm water with lemon & ginger. I started making a smoothie a day, mostly spinach or kale drinks with oranges, bananas, pears & apples. I was miraculously spared from the plague that invaded our house.  A few years ago, I was always the first one to fall sick. I cannot even begin to describe the impact eating well will have on your overall health. The better you eat, the more benefits you see & the more you fall in love with a clean lifestyle. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Green Smoothie Recipe| Apple, Kale, Spinach, Kiwi

Blend everything on “High” until desired consistency is obtained. Enjoy this glass of deliciousness. If you want it sweeter or even creamier, add a frozen banana (sliced).

Meter todo a la licuadora y licuar en “High” hasta obtener la consistencia deseada. Si lo quieren un poco más dulce, pueden agregar un banano congelado en rodajas. No se olviden de pelar y cortar los bananos en rodajas antes de congelarlos. Hace todo más fácil.

Esta receta me encanta pues el smoothie esta muy cremoso, tiene el nivel adecuado de endulzan natural,  y la espinaca casi no se siente.

Cinnamon Pear Green Smoothie

Hey, I'm Aleyda, and I am glad you're here! I like to share deliciously nourishing eats that are mostly gluten, dairy and refined sugar-free. My recipes are approachable, mostly involve one-bowl and all real food, seasonal ingredients. I live in Toronto with my three munchkins; who keep my hands busy and my heart pretty full. I love frothy oat milk lattes, a seriously fudgy brownie and a hearty bowl of pasta. I believe in balance and in sharing healthy, timeless food that tastes great.Enjoy the vibrant colour and sweet taste of this spinach pear smoothie. Creamy banana, zingy ginger and sweet cinnamon pair perfectly with pear and spinach to produce an irresistible green smoothie.

The order you add your ingredients can make a difference in how easily your smoothie will blend. You want the liquid at the bottom, nearest the blade

Depending on the size of your blender you may have to add the spinach in stages. For a smaller blender add about ¼ of the spinach, blitzed it and then added the remaining spinach before blending again.

Fruit and veggie smoothie recipes are what kicked off my own veggie-loaded journey and they continue to hold a special place in my heart and on our family menu. Sometimes I like a thick and creamy sweet potato smoothie. And my daughter fancies a blueberry smoothie over any others. And while we love all the smoothies we can think to blend up, we always seem to come back to the simplicity and goodness of a classic green smoothie recipe.

Smoothies are my favorite “fast food.” So easy to make. Endless possibilities. And a perfect way to add veggies. I will pair them with a muffin at breakfast, enjoy one as a quick snack, or even make them as an easy dinner next to some avocado toast or a PB sandwich on the nights I need something extra easy and fast.

Absolutely. Since spinach wilts down considerably in the freezing process, I would suggest adjusting the amount of spinach to 1/2 cup if using frozen.

Nope. Unless you really don’t like the skin. Pears have a lovely tender peel that easily breaks down in the blender and contains nutrients that only make this green smoothie even better for you.
