Preparation
Mix it up
Feed the pear and cucumber through a juicer. Pour the juice into a blender, add the spinach, parsley, and avocado, and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass. Mix the spirulina with just enough water to make a thick liquid, then swirl it into the juice. Sprinkle with the chopped brazil nut, then serve.
