Pear Cinnamon Green Smoothie



When I started Paleo I had smoothies all the time. It is an easy meal replacement, and an easy meal to not have to think too hard on. I had smoothies so much that I burned out. Hard. The last few times I made myself a smoothie I felt like I was gagging through them. Sad, I know.

So I have been on a smoothie break. A long one. I broke that break today and it was worth it.

We were running low on most things in my refrigerator. This morning I was dreaming of eggs, but I had none. Apples and almond butter, but no more apples left. I would have even taken a Paleo waffle, but I had none of those left in the freezer. However I did have all the ingredients I needed for a delicious green smoothie.


Pear Cinnamon Green Smoothie
Serves 2

2 very ripe pears peeled, chopped and frozen
1.5 cups vanilla unsweetened almond milk
2 cups spinach
½ tsp cinnamon

1.       Allow the pears to thaw a little while before making smoothie, about 15-25 min, until you can break apart the pieces.
2.       Add all ingredients to a high powered blender.
3.       Blend until its smooth.
