Ginger-Pear-Oat Smoothie

This drink’s flavor profile is reminiscent of a delicious pear pie, but in a liquid, vitamin-rich form. It is an elegant, harmonious drink that aids digestion. The sweetness of the pear and apple juice is enlivened by the mild spiciness of ginger and the tartness of lemon. It’s the perfect choice for fall and winter mornings, or whenever you’re craving something lighter.
