Ginger Orange Green Smoothie

March 27, 2018 lael gerhart
ginger orange green smoothie

I make smoothies a lot for breakfast. You can pack so many nutrient dense ingredients into them.  Here we get anti-inflammatory gingerols from the ginger, healthy satiating fat and potassium from the avocado, Vitamin C from the orange  -  your body needs vitamin C to make collagen btw, protein from the powder, magnesium from the kale, antioxidants from the seeds, minerals and essential amino acids from the bee pollen, and mineral mania from the spirulina.

Smoothies are very portable, so you could make one and keep it for a snack later in the day.  I rarely measure when I make them but just eye ball quantities. Smoothies are generally pretty forgiving. Here's what I put in this delicious one:

Ingredients

1/4 cup of ginger root infused water (left over from the beverage I made myself upon waking) If you don't have ginger water, then you can peel a fingernail bed size piece of ginger and put that in the blender w a little water.  Add more ginger if you want more of a kick. 
1/2 an avocado (makes it so creamy and delicious)
1 navel orange
2 scoops undentured whey powder or Vital Proteins collagen or 1 scoop of each (protein) 
1 cup of baby dino kale
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tsp flax seeds
1/4 tsp spirulina
1/4 teaspoon bee pollen
1/4-1/2 cup frozen strawberry mango mix

Method

Place everything in the blender and wiz until thick and creamy. Enjoy.
