Spiced Pear and Apple Protein Smoothie

I wanted to share with you a wonderful protein smoothie because it’s a light and refreshing snack, perfect for a warm summers day.

As you peel the fruit, make sure you eat the skin because it’s also packed with added nutrition and fibre. Because this is a raw food snack packed with a healthy balance of protein and carbohydrates, you will get a huge healthy pick me up from drinking this once or twice a week.

It also contains no added sugar, is gluten free, has no trans fats and is non GMO.

It’s almost as if you’d gone to the farm to collect it […]
