This “blendsation” tastes like ice cream and contains a good amount of protein, especially with the boosters. Heart-healthy phytonutrients and fiber from the pears combine with anti-inflammatory ginger to help regulate the digestive system, tone the intestinal tract, and relieve bloating and nausea.
Ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup (180ml) unsweetened hemp milk, or other nut, grain, or seed milk (strained if homemade)
1 tablespoon Growing Naturals vanilla protein powder
- 3 ripe pears, skin on, cored and diced
- 1 cup (27g) loosely packed baby spinach
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice, plus more to taste
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon shelled hemp seeds
- 1 chopped pitted date, soaked
- 1⁄2 medium frozen sliced banana
- 1 cup (125g) ice cubes
blank
- 1 tablespoon raw almond butter (not peanut butter; it’s overpowering)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1⁄2 teaspoon wheatgrass powder
Directions
Throw all of the ingredients into your blender and blast on high for 30 to 60 seconds, until smooth and creamy. Tweak lime juice to taste.
