Vitamix Pear-Green Smoothie

Green smoothies are a great tasting alternative to get in all your daily vitamins and key nutrients. If taken in the morning they provide a great source of energy and keep you feeling full longer. If you prefer to drink them in the evening they are a great way to end the day with a meal that won’t be too heavy and keep your metabolism working all night. If you live a busy lifestyle, then this recipe is perfect for you. It’s super easy to make and involves little to no prep time (AND if you own a Vitamix – you know how easy clean up is :))

Feel free to mix up this recipe to incorporate your favorite greens. Remember, keeping a variety of deep greens is key to getting all the important nutrients.  You can also switch up the fruit – fruits that I find go well with green smoothies are:  apples, limes, lemons, and pears.

You will need:

• 1 leaf rainbow chard (substitute with any green you like, for example: Kale)
• handful of spinach
• 1 celery stalk
• 1 pear
• 1 small handful of parsley
• 1/4 th large cucumber

 

Method

1. Add all your ingredients to the blender
2. Add about 1 cup of water and a few ice cubes

1. Blend and Enjoy!
