Spiced Holiday Smoothie

Something about cold weather doesn’t just make us pull out the fleece blankets and grab a big fluffy cat for extra warmth. It makes us slow down and start taking time to look a little deeper.

Spiced Holiday Smoothie

1 cup water

1 banana, sliced and frozen

½ pear, fresh or frozen

2 cups romaine lettuce

1 tsp. maca powder (optional)

1 tbsp. prepared irish moss (optional)

2 tbsp. hemp hearts

2 tbsp. pumpkin seeds

2 tbsp. goji berries

½ tsp. cinnamon

Pinch of cardamom

Pinch of nutmeg

• Put all ingredients in a blender and mix until creamy and smooth.
• Makes about 3 cups.

Note: Spinach will also work but the smoothie will be green 🙂
