This smoothie is flavorful, festive and nourishing with a healthy combination of cranberries and pears. Most of us are interested in maintaining strong teeth and bones, and would prefer drinking a delicious, fortified, calcium-rich Cranberry Pear Smoothie instead of choking down supplements (or drinking wheat grass juice).
A snap to whip up, this smoothie makes a refreshing breakfast (or any time) drink, with just the right amount of sweetness. Sesame seeds are high in calcium, as are almonds, and both will add creaminess to this drink as well.
Here are all of the ingredients you’ll need for a single serving of this delicious Cranberry Pear Smoothie:
1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened soy, almond, rice or hemp milk
1/2 cup (120 ml) cranberries, fresh or frozen
1/2 pear, cored (you can keep the skin on)
2 Tbsp (30 ml) sesame seeds
2 Tbsp (30 ml) raw natural almonds
1 scoop plain or vanilla rice-based protein powder
1 1-inch (2.5 cm) piece of fresh ginger, peeled
15-25 drops pure plain or vanilla liquid stevia, to taste.
The preparation instructions are easy and straightforward:
1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Drink immediately.
