PEAR, CUCUMBER & MINT SMOOTHIE

This super green, nutritious and hydrating drink is one of my go-to smoothies. The pear gives it a lovely consistency and subtle sweetness, the ginger, lime & mint (three of my favourite smoothie ingredients) gives it a great kick and you get the added bonus of some healthy fats (which assist with nutrient absorption) from the avocado.

Ingredients:

2 large pears, roughly chopped

1 cucumber, roughly chopped

1 lime, skin removed

A small thumb sized piece of ginger, chopped

1½ cups baby spinach leaves

½ cup fresh mint leaves

1/4 of an avocado

1 cup water

2 cups ice cubes

Instructions: Blend all ingredients together in a high powered blender until smooth. Pour into glasses and enjoy!
