GREEN SMOOTHIE OF THE DAY: Probiotic Cinnamon Infused Pear Smoothie ღ ღ ღ
A good morning makes a good day! At our house, the morning bliss nearly always starts with a green drink. They are delicious, energizing, and packed with happiness-inducing plant foods.
Though I would add cinnamon to nearly every dish regardless the season, its fragrant, sweet and warm is a perfect spice to use during the winter months.
For ages cinnamon has been used as a medicine to treat a host of ailments., going from stabilizing blood sugar levels and improving digestion to boosting brain function and heart health.
Its unique healing abilities come from three basic types of volatile oils found in its bark. These essentials oils contain active components such as cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl acetate, cinnamyl alcohol, and other beneficial volatile substances.
Ingredients (serves 2 for breakfast)
2 cups fresh spinach
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup homemade coconut yogurt
4 medium pears
1 banana
1 tsp ground cinnamon (or more to taste)
2 tbsp coconut oil
Optional topping: goji berries and coconut flakes
Directions
- Blend spinach and almond milk until smooth. Add remaining ingredients, and blend again. If the smoothie is too thick, add more liquid base and blend again. If you have a high-speed blender you can throw in everything at once.
- Optional: Top with goji berries, coconut flakes or other superfoods/toppings you like.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

Very informative post. Thank you Didn't know cinnamon has such good effects on the body. Besides I've never seen cinnamon in Ghana. I wish we have. As a medical student I'll make more studies on it.
It's so good. Strange you can't find it in Ghana. Thanks for stopping by!

I sure do... and hemp hearts. Hmmm hungry again!
Looks delicious! I love a good green smoothie or juice for breakfast. 🌱
Same here. They are so good. Thanks for stopping by!
Wow! Yummy smoothie for the morning! Me never i try cinnamon in smoothie just i make it in food in my cooking, it give a good flavor to our dish.
Cinnamon makes everything better hehe. Have a great day!
I need to get back to my routine drinking smoothies at the morning :)
You better should hehe.... such a yum and healthy habit. Have a great day!
Pears are so underappreciated. So it's nice to see you using them. Do you see many different kinds of pears in your area? Do they change through the year? I think of pears as more northern fruits and not so tropical. So it's nice that you can get them!
Only one (sometimes 2 kinds) and they are imported but still yum... especially when combined with cinnamon.
