Market Monday: Spiced Pear Smoothie
Print Recipe
When I find something I like, it’s balls to the walls, no turning back. and yes, I said it. Even after my husband told me not to. BALLS. TO. THE. WALLS. Okay, I’m done.
Mr. nutrient police, my husband thinks its borderline unhealthy.
Ben: “you need to practice moderation”, “you need more variety”, “you’re going to become allergic if don’t stop”
Oh hello there nutrient police.
Yeah, I will eat or drink it until . . . 1. I find something else. 2. I find something else/better
This brings me to my new obsession favorite smoothie. For this month, at least. I have to credit the Guilty Kitchen for introducing me to her smoothie which then inspired this one below.
I’ll have this mid-morning or later afternoon. It’s been a daily ritual this past week.
I’d be going strong, but I’m heading out of town tomorrow. Already looking forward to it when I return, unless there’s a new one.
Let me just tell you, this is one delicious way to get in your daily greens.
I almost feel just as healthy looking at it as I do drinking it.
Speaking of healthy, I’m giving AWAY one FREE spot ANNNNNNND one spot 1/2 off to our next Group Health Coaching session this week. Session starts Jan 25th – all over the phone & private online community.
“I believe whole heartedly that coaching is a better investment of my time, money and efforts than anything I’ve done previously (and you name it, I’ve thrown money at it in the name of losing weight!)” – testimonial, Summer from Texas
