Description
Cold Killer Smoothie loaded with vitamin C, ginger, bananas, honey and spinach to fight off that sickness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2–3/4 cup water (or orange or pineapple juice)
- 2 medium oranges, peel removed
- 1/2 tsp – 2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 frozen bananas, sliced
- Optional Add-ins:
- 1/4–1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 tsp raw honey
- pinch cayenne pepper, turmeric
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in blender in the order listed (start with 1/2 cup water/juice). Blend until quite smooth, scraping down the sides or adding more liquid as necessary.
- Taste and add vanilla, honey, cayenne, or turmeric as desired. Pulse to combine and serve immediately.
Notes
- This is a great recipe for colds–a vitamin C shot from the oranges, cold creaminess from the bananas, some greens for extra nutrition, and a little ginger (and cayenne, if you like) to clear up your sinuses. Drink a big glass, or freeze it into popsicle molds if you need to soothe a sore throat.
