- 1 large (or 2 small) Pear (seeded and diced) (around 255g chopped weight)
- 1 cup (45g) Spinach Leaves
- 1 cup (140g) Frozen Banana Slices (approx. 1 banana)
- ½ teaspoon Ginger Puree
- ¼ cup (60g) Greek Yogurt
- ½ cup (125ml) Milk (milk of choice)
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ½ tablespoon Chia Seeds
Add all the ingredients to the blender (see note 1) and pulse to break up the ingredients. Start at a slow speed and gradually increase the speed to high. Blend on high until all ingredients are fully blended.
Taste and adjust texture and taste if needed (add more milk if too thick, sweetener for sweetness etc)
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.
You can use milk of choice, dairy and dairy-free milk both work.
