    Get a Good Blender!

    Can I just say that if you are on the fence about getting a Vitamix jump off that fence now and get one!  I debated one for a long time before making the jump.  Yes, it does cost about as much as my first car (I'm that old), but it has been so worth it.  We have had a smoothie practically every single day since Vivian came to live with us.  I've also heard good things about Blendtec Blenders.

    The only hard part is trying to decide what smoothie to make next!  Smoothies are really so easy, you can toss anything into them and they come out fantastic, but you know me, I like a little guidance, a blueprint to follow at least until I am a smoothie master.

    Ginger Pear Smoothie

    After my Vitamix, my next smoothie purchase was Superfood Smoothies: 100 Delicious, Energizing & Nutrient-dense Recipes - which I'll be reviewing later.  This book is loaded with ideas, most of them are simple and made more nutritious by the additions of certain superfoods.

    Like this recipe for the Ginger Pear Smoothie.  It's superfood ingredient besides ginger are dried white mulberries you can also add hemp seeds for more healthy fats and proteins.  I had absolutely no idea that mulberries were such superfood powerhouses!  They are one of the best natural sources of resveratrol - a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent aging, enhance cardiovascular health and promote circulation!

    This smoothie tastes wonderfully fresh and the pear, ginger, spinach combination is delightful!

      I'm not sure I'm into the green color of it, but it does sound delicious. I have a white mulberry tree, but the berries are not even remotely white!

      I love mulberries. They are so fleeting in the Farmers Market. I had no idea they were available in dried form. GREG

      Gorgeous smoothie Pam. I love pear and ginger in so many other things. What a great combination, and a great way to sneak in some greens too!

      Agree, agree, agree! I couldn't believe the price when I first looked into buying a Vitamix, but that was 7 years ago and I've never looked back. Such a worth it splurge! I love the combination of pear and ginger in this smoothie. Will definitely try it out this summer!

      I've always thought that grapes were the only resveratrol containing fruit, but now I must seek out some mulberries as well! This smoothie sounds fabulous!
