Apple, Pear & Ginger Smoothie
This outrageously green apple, pear and ginger smoothie is refreshing and rejuvenating any time of day.
So it would seem that pear and ginger are the flavour of the month. Or flavour of the month for me, at least. This time I have whizzed the tasty duo into a smoothie, and apple has joined the party, oh and spinach has tagged along too.
I have been guzzling this outrageously green concoction like nobodies business, it’s so yummy and refreshing! Last Saturday I ran in my first race post-baby (and survived, no less!). By the afternoon I was hungry and depleted, a quick raid of the fridge yielded these beautiful ripe autumn fruits, and a neglected nub of ginger. A minute later, I was a new woman. This is a wonderfully replenishing and rejuvenating smoothie. I love it in the morning to wake me up, or in the afternoon to give me a little boost.
Enjoy!
- 1 medium apple (I prefer a sweeter variety like gala), chopped into chunks
- 1 medium pear, chopped into chunks
- 2 large handfuls of baby spinach
- 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
- a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 1 cup water or coconut water
- Put all the ingredients into a blender, and blend! I recommend a high powered blender for this one 🙂
This looks a lot like a pear/ lemon/ ginger/ parsley/ bee pollen smoothie I was guzzling down all the time before I got turned off of green things. Maybe I’m almost ready to try a green smoothie again, because this certainly looks appealing and I’ve got practically everything on hand already!
Indeed this green smoothie can rejuvenate any time of day. Green apple, pear and ginger sounds like an amazing combo.
Yummy! I love to thicken smoothies with pears instead of bananas, but never had a green version before…now I know what’s gonna be my breakfast tomorrow 🙂
ginger is SUCH a necessary and delicious addition to a smoothie. I haven’t had many pears yet this year because i find that they bruise so quickly, so maybe adding them to a smoothie is the way to go 🙂
This looks like a great green smoothie for my afternoon slump. Maybe it will keep me from eating some other junk! Love your site. Your photos are beautiful.
Thanks! Yes if you have the will power to whip up a smoothie instead of grabbing some chocolate… its a great pick me up!
This looks delicious!! And it looks like something that would also make me FEEL good after drinking it! Pinning!
Haha! Anything this green HAS to make you feel good 🙂
Your pictures are beautiful! I put pear in my juice the other day and it was a great switch up from my usual apple… I’ll have to do both apple and pear next time though!
Thanks Liori, yes they are great together 🙂
