Add ginger if you like spice, cinnamon if you like to your fresh smoothies to feel cozy. Honey if you’re not opposed to a little natural sweetener, which, personally, I am not. ♡
How To Make Our Green Smoothie:
I have two favorite things about this green smoothie. First: the taste and texture are literally the best. It’s smooth and creamy – not icy like a slushie and not runny like a juice. Just a perfectly perfect, creamy, satisfying smoothie. Second: the moment I remember I had this for breakfast (usually sometime around lunch) and feel so good about myself for already getting so many fruits and veggies in AND IT’S NOT EVEN LUNCH YET. This is a good moment. Third (bonus, just thought of it right now): you can easily prep it ahead of time with all your other meal prep stuff. Just pack your mango, peaches, kale, and ginger into a bag and freeze it up. When you’re ready to blend, add your liquid of choice and get after it. One ginger consideration: I usually use a ginger paste (the kind that you can buy in the tube in the produce section) but I recently realized that sadly it is made with sugar. Sad. No wonder I like it so much. It’s got a full 1 gram of sugar in less than a teaspoon, so since I’m doing the whole Sugar Free January thing and trying to recalibrate my palette away from super-sweet things, lately I have been making it with a hunk of fresh (peeled) ginger. And that seems to work just fine as well. The one thing to consider is that when it’s frozen, it is rock solid, so depending on what kind of blender you have you might want to just let everything sit out for a while before giving it a whirl. I’m telling ya. This one is the best. Thank you, frozen fruit and creamy almond milk and spicy ginger and powerhouse kale, for being so lovely together. Do you make a daily smoothie? Please inspire me with your best combos! 4.8 from 18 reviews
