Casanova Smoothie - an easy green drink
This lovely and light "green drink" is made with layers of aphrodisiac ingredients, including invigorating ginger plus a nutrition boost from fresh spinach.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white grape juice
- 1/2 cup spinach
- 1 small ripe bartlett or d’anjou pear quartered and cored*
- 2-3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp fresh ginger root peeled and finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp agave nectar optional
- 10 ice cubes
Instructions
- Add grape juice, spinach, pear, 2 tbsp lemon juice, ginger and vanilla to blender. Puree until smooth.
- Taste. If smoothie isn’t sweet enough, add the agave nectar, (it all depends on the sweetness of your pear). For additional tartness, add the last tbsp lemon juice.
- Add ice cubes and blend on high until smooth.
- Divide smoothie between two juice glasses to serve.
Notes
*If you use a Vitamix to make this green drink, you do not need to peel the pear. Instead, leave the skin on for the benefit of additional fiber.
