Pear vanilla and mint smoothie
Pears are a great source of both dietary fibre and prebiotics, both of which promote bowel regularity. Blending (rather than juicing) the pear with skin on, helps maximise your fibre intake.
Prep Time 5 mins
Servings 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 pear
- 10 mint leaves
- 1 handful spinach leaves
- 8 cashew nuts
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 banana
- 3 ice cubes
- 200ml milk or water
Method
- Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth and enjoy.
Tip
Using frozen rather than fresh banana will make this feel more like a creamy refreshing dessert. I tend to keep bananas cut in halves in the freezer ready for when I want a smoothie.
