Pear Chia Seed Green Smoothie

Healthy green smoothies aren’t a new years resolution for me as you may have seen by now, it’s a lifestyle. I’ve made many changes in my life over the past year and making a dedication to green smoothies for myself is a big one. While I’ve been drinking them for years, I now drink one everyday in one way or another. It comes for breakfast mostly, sometimes with a pastry, mostly not though. If it’s the weekend and we choose to go out for breakfast I know I’ll be having one for a snack or as my lunch later in the day. It’s simply a choice I’ve made to ensure I’m getting extra nutrients my body needs to be super awesome! Easy peasy!

But with so many smoothies being enjoyed around our house, I needed inspiration for new ingredients. We all need inspiration right? So I went to my trusty Instagram page and searched for green smoothies, I was totally inspired in so many ways. The first inspiration is this Pear Chia Seed Green Smoothie! I’ve not added to pear in a long time and changing the ingredients in smoothies is important to give your body different nutrients on a weekly basis. I always keep add in for smoothies to up their nutritional value like apple cider vinegar, spirulina powder, hemp seeds, and now chia. I took a break a while ago on add ins, but I’m back and feeling better than I ever have in my life so far. It could be the daily positive talking, gratitude giving, and yoga too. But it really is a combination of all of it, yoga is at the top though. 🙂 Moving my body in yoga and the green smoothie has given me more energy and happiness than I have ever had, so that it super cool.
