Recipes / / Warm Pear Smoothie

Warm Pear Smoothie 
Have you ever had a warm smoothie? When you steam these ingredients together they are easily digested by the body. 

Pears nourish the Lung, our skin is called the "Third Lung" in TCM. Snow mushrooms nourish our Yin essence which provides moisture to the skin. They also increase the production of collagen. The red date (jujube) strengthens Spleen, boosts circulation and adds sweetness along with longans which nourish Blood. Apricot seeds benefit the Large Intestine and Lung meridians which is great to support the bowels and immunity. Strengthen Immunity and Rejuvenate Your Skin.

1 pear, skin and seeds
1 red date (jujube), pitted 
3 longan berries
Snow mushroom (you can find at Chinese market) 
3-5 apricot, seeds  
3/4-1 cup of water 

Cut up the ingredients and put them in a small pot with a cover.
Add that pot into a larger pot with boiling water as shown. 
Cover and cook for 45 minutes. 
When done, you can eat it as is or blend it up to make a smoothie. 
When blending, I add the snow mushroom in at the end for better texture.
