Green Tea Pear Smoothie

Green Tea Pear Smoothie

Green Tea Pear

This week Kris created a powerful Green Tea Pear Smoothie that was chock full of omega fats, antioxidants and fiber. While it may have looked a little swampy, the green tea and pear flavor was refreshing and sweet.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Ripe Pears
  • 1 1/2 Cups Green Tea
  • 1 Cup Navitas Naturals Chia Gel
  • 1 Cup Ice
  • 1 Teaspoon Navitas Naturals Wheat Germ
  • 1 Teaspoon Navitas Naturals Lucuma Powder
Instructions:
Brew your green tea an hour before to give it time to cool before making your smoothie. To prepare the chia gel, mix 4 tablespoons and chia seeds with 2 cups of water. Stir and let sit for 15 minutes, then give it another 15 minutes before adding it to your smoothie. Chia seeds absorb about 9 times their weight in water to create a jelly like substance we call chia gel. When everything is prepared, the order isn't important, just throw it all in a blender & blend until smooth. If it is not sweet enough, add another teaspoon of lucuma powder.
Serves 2
Preparation time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
