Super Smoothies :: Pear Green Smoothie
Yesterday for lunch I made a HUGE green smoothie that was just so satisfying, I had to share the recipe. It’s pretty straight forward, but has the right balance of greens and fruit which makes it delicious.
Kale or spinach (or a combination of both) for the greens and pears for a refreshing and slightly sweet taste. As I write this, I’m thinking of going to make myself one….just. so. yummy.

I have never actually put pears in a smoothie before, not sure why! Definitely will be trying this!
@Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction I’m with you, it’s a fruit that I forget about, but it’s adds some nice sweetness to the greens! Thanks for coming by Jessica 🙂
I feel healthier just looking at this smoothie action. WHY HAVEN’T I BEEN PUTTING PEARS IN MY SMOOTHIES? GAH!
Looks so yummy, I´d make one right now if I had the ingredients at home! 🙂
So, I am going to move in with you for a week and detox and drink lots of tasty smoothies, okay?
Yum, this looks delicious! I never thought about adding pear to a smoothie, but I’m keen to give it a try! Hope you have a great weekend! xx
