The Spring Smoothie

It’s time to drink your way to looking, and feeling great. Eating out on the run or in a rush is terrible (a muffin or bagel= sodium overload!) Smoothies are  great alternative because they’re easy: throw in the blender and press go!

This delicious smoothie makes an excellent snack or as a quick and easy breakfast to tide you over from morning to midday. Banana’s and pears make for delicious ingredients as they both have a creamy texture (when blended) and pear is packed with Vitamin C and fibre, which helps to promote digestion and regularity.1x banana

• 1 pear
• 1x cup almond or rice milk
• Flesh of one coconut
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• Top with coconut, blueberries and activated buckwheat

Combine all ingredients in a high-power blender and puree until smooth. Voila!

Tip: Try putting the pear and banana into freezer bags and freeze so when you blend them up, your smoothie will be thicker and perfectly chilled.
