Chop up the pear. The good thing about this is that your chopping doesn't need to be neat nor do you need to be concerned about the size of the chunks, this will all be blended.
Health Benefit: Pears are one of the highest fibre fruits, offering six grams per medium-sized fruit. Ensuring you have enough fibre in your diet aids digestion and prevents bloating.

Health Benefit: Avocado has more Potassium than bananas! Potassium is an important mineral that most people don’t get enough of, it supports healthy blood pressure levels.
Step 5
Remove Kale stems and chop leaves.

Step 6
Add all of the above ingredients into a blender along with your almond milk and ice then blend, Simple! Almond milk is low in fat, but high in energy and proteins, however, you do not need to use almond milk for this, you may use whichever type you prefer. You may also change add as much or as little as you like to achieve the desired consistency. The great thing about smoothies is that if there are certain ingredients that you do not like you can simply swap the ingredients for your preferred fruit or vegetable!
