Pear, kale & ginger smoothie

in Breakfast, Taste -

When I hear the word ‘smoothie’, I usually picture a juicy burger, too many sweet potato fries and a larger than life glass filled with peanut butter ice cream and- wait, that’s not a smoothie. That’s a milkshake. Right… I always get these two wrong. 

Spicy apple cake
