Lightly spiced, lower in sugar and packed with greens, this vegan-friendly Cinnamon Ginger Pear Smoothie is a perfect fit for fall or winter mornings. Since pears are a lighter-tasting fruit, I recommend using milder greens in this recipe. (You will probably find that curly kale and chard will make it taste a little too green!)
Also, a heads up to those of you who, like me, really loooooove cinnamon, feel free to add more to taste after you’ve blended all the ingredients. Enjoy!
