Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 pear, core removed
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened, plain soy milk
  • 1/3 cup plain vegan yogurt
  • 1/2 inch fresh ginger root

Instructions

  • Pour all the ingredients together in a blender. (Place the spinach in first so the rest of the ingredients can weigh the leaves down to help it puree up better.)

Notes

  • Don't like bananas? Use 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/2 avocado, or 1 cup frozen cauliflower rice. Add a little sweetener as well - about 1/2-1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey.
  • Make it thicker: Use frozen banana for a thicker smoothie.
  • Flavor boosters: choose from 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder.
