Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach packed
- 2 medium ripe Bartlett pears cored and sliced, skin left on for fiber
- 1 medium banana frozen for extra creaminess
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or coconut water for hydration
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger peeled and finely grated
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for omega-3 fats
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice to brighten flavors and prevent oxidation
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional for a colder texture
Notes
To make ahead, portion the spinach, pear, and ginger into freezer-safe bags; just add liquid and blend when ready. Store leftovers in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours, though some separation is natural—simply shake before drinking. For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla plant-based protein powder.
