Ingredients
  

2 ripe pears, cored and chopped

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated

1 banana, frozen

1 cup spinach (optional for added nutrients)

1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (for added fiber)

A splash of vanilla extract (for flavor)

Instructions
 

Start by prepping your ingredients. Core and chop the pears, peel and grate the ginger, and if you're using a fresh banana, slice it and freeze it for at least 1-2 hours prior to blending.

    In a blender, combine the chopped pears, grated ginger, frozen banana, spinach (if using), almond milk, maple syrup (if desired), chia seeds, and the splash of vanilla extract.

      Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

        Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or flavor if needed by adding more maple syrup or ginger based on your preference.

          Pour the smoothie into glasses, serve immediately, and enjoy the refreshing flavor!
