I came across this super energy booster smoothie from Kellie Hemmerly (of The Suburban Soapbox). The writers claim its a favorite way to liven up their breakfast routine while avoiding processed sugar or artificial sweeteners.
Sounds great to me too – I love the taste pears add to my healthy green smoothies, and ginger adds the edge to wake me up faster!
Here’s their recommendation:
Start your day with a natural energy boost. This Pear Ginger Green Smoothie with chia seeds is a refreshing way to fuel up in the morning. Sweetened with a bit of honey, this smoothie recipe by The Suburban Soapbox can easily pass as dessert.
