Avocado and Pear Smoothie

emmakenneally

Ingredients
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 small pears
  • 1 large handful spinach
  • Milk

While we love the odd food indulgence or two here in Lovin Dublin, we think eating is all about balance and that healthy food should be as quick, easy and accessible as unhealthy food often is. This super healthy smoothie only has four ingredients and takes minutes to make.

If you’re always rushing out the door in the morning with no time to make a proper breakfast, why not try blitzing this up and see how good you feel afterwards. This is a great creamy and filling smoothie thanks to the avocado and milk. The spinach will give your whack of green goodness and the pear will keep it tasting sweet and delicious.

Step 9

Blitz it all up until smooth and creamy. If it’s a little too thick, just add some more milk and blitz again. If you don’t have a smoothie blender you can use a hand blender in a bowl instead- just watch out for splashes!
