Green Ginger Orange Smoothie

April 15, 2015

Green Ginger Orange Smoothie

We all have mornings where we need something a little stronger to get us going. You know the days.

Maybe the night before you stayed up binge watching Revenge until the wee hours of the morning.  Maybe you cried yourself to sleep when your newly purchased honey leaked in your freshly cleaned car. Perhaps you woke up feeling under the weather after a week full sick babies, work emails and scheduling repair men. Whatever the case may be, we all have days where we need something a bit stronger to get us going than our usual morning O.J.

Something with a little zing. Something to put that pep in our step. No, we’re not talking about any adult beverages. What’s the kick we talk of?  Ginger!  Ginger is stellar in cookies and cinnamon rolls, but it’s also an amazing addition to smoothies.

Vegan Green Ginger Smoothie

If you’re fighting a cold, stomach problems or even morning sickness, give this smoothie a go.  Ginger has the awesome ability to help reduce nausea and improves the absorption of nutrients in the body.  It helps fight illness by reducing inflammation and strengthens the immune system.  If that weren’t enough in one smoothie, we added in the nutritious benefits from broccoli, oranges and dark leafy greens.  These foods are not only good for our immune systems but totally beautifying foods for our skin and hair because they are rich in antioxidants and vitamins A, B, C and K!

That’s something to drink to! Let’s give ourselves that health kick! Bottoms up!
