Jennifer Cornbleat’s Pear Fennel Smoothie

Yield: 3 1/2 cups, 2 servings

“Parsley and fennel give this smoothie a crisp, refreshing taste. But these two herbs do a lot more than that. Parsley is an excellent source of Vitamins C and K, while fennel offers health-promoting anti-inflammatory effects. Both are rich in antioxidants.”
