Has anyone said, “You seem to have a winter glow about you,” this season? If they haven’t, it’s probably because you aren’t drinking this smoothie. Made from ginger, hemp hearts, spinach, pears, and other nourishing ingredients, this smoothie replenishes you with tons of nutrients. It freshens up your morning, and that’s not just because of the zesty zing from the fresh lemon!

Even though it’s cold, you can still enjoy smoothies. In fact, starting your day off with a nutritious smoothie is a great move during the holidays. The reason for this is because people often eat unhealthy meals during this time of year. Being out and about, running around to buy gifts, finishing up end of the year projects, and more can be very stressful. You make a quick decision about food, and it isn’t always the healthiest choice. A nutrient-dense smoothie in the morning may encourage you to make healthier food decisions throughout the day! Plus, the fiber and healthy fats will help keep you full until lunch.

The flavor of this smoothie is slightly nutty and a little sweet. There’s a subtle zesty flavor from the fresh lemon juice, but that’s something you notice after a big gulp. If the flavors make the smoothie a little too bitter, you can always add a tablespoon or so of raw agave nectar. The pear should provide the natural sweetness you need, though.
