Pear & Greens Smoothie with Tofu
This healthy pear smoothie is made with green tea, ginger, zesty lemon, plenty of green vegetables and tofu for added protein.
Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 pear roughly chopped and core removed
- 1 cup green tea or matcha tea made from 2 teabags
- 1/4 of cucumber about 100 grams
- 1/2 stalk celery
- 1/3 cup tofu
- 1 teaspoon agave honey, maple or pear syrup
- pinch of ginger powder or 1/4 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger

Instructions
- First prepare the tea, by boiling water and pouring it in a large cup with 2 green tea tea bags (to make the flavour stronger). Leave to infuse for 3-5 minutes.

- Once your green tea is cold, pour it into your blender and add the rest of the ingredients - pear, celery, cucumber, tofu, ginger, agave syrup, lemon juice (if using).
- If you want to make the smoothie sweeter, add agave syrup or your choice of sweetener.
- Blend for few minutes until smooth.

- Enjoy fresh!
