Morning Smoothie
INGREDIENTS
1 – 1 inch piece of fresh ginger*, chopped into small pieces (add a bit of chopped, raw turmeric root for inflammation reduction, as needed)
1 frozen banana (tip – I break my fresh bananas into chunks of 3 prior to freezing)
2 large handfuls of spinach* (any green you have on hand will do)
2 Medjool dates, chopped into small pieces
Combination of frozen fruit of choice (wild blueberries, raspberries, mango, pineapple, strawberries, whatever you like or have on hand), half a ripe avocado is a great addition too
1 tbsp. organic chia seeds
1 tsp. Organic Barley Grass Powder
1 tsp. Organic Spirulina or Organic Chlorella
½ cup coconut water or almond milk (or milk of your choice)
Filtered water
DIRECTIONS
I use a classic Nutribullet personal blender for this recipe. Add the ingredients, in the order listed above, to the blender. Top off with water and blend until smooth. This recipe makes 2 servings. Share the second serving with someone else or save for a mid-morning snack!
