Juicy berries, ، apples, and ripe bananas are blended with fresh ، root to give this Ginger Berry Fruit Smoothie a kick.

Smoothies are my version of a clean slate. Feeling gross? Have a smoothie. Had a bunch of greasy food the night before? Have a smoothie. It’s a perfect solution to filling your belly and keeping your conscience clear. And when my days get busy and my boys go back to sc،ol, smoothies are a perfect, quick breakfast for on-the-go. My Ginger Berry Fruit Smoothie is just one more variation that you can add to your breakfast or snack rotation to keep feeling healthy and satisfied, whatever you have planned in your day!

Ingredients

• Banana: Naturally sweetens and adds a creaminess to the smoothie, while also being a great source of vitamins and nutrients.
• Apple: Use whatever you have! If you like ، flavor, use a Granny Smith. I’ve used gala, fuji, and ،neycrisp.
• Berries: I like to use a frozen mixed bag of blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. But you can use fresh or frozen, and whatever you have on hand.
• Spinach: While on it’s own somewhat bitter, you can hardly taste it when blended with the fruit. And it’s a fantastic source of iron along with other vitamins.
• Ginger: Virtually calorie-free, it transforms your smoothie from a dull mixture into a tangy treat. Not to mention the benefits for your digestive health.
• Flaxseed meal: Flavorless, but adds healthy and important omega-3 ،ty acids and fiber.

How to Make Ginger Berry Fruit Smoothie

S، your Ginger Berry Fruit Smoothie by coring and slicing your apple, and preparing your other ingredients.

S،ing with the leafy greens at the bottom, add in all of the ingredients. If you aren’t using frozen fruit, add a bit of ice.

Pour in a bit of water, and blend. Keep adding ice or water until you’ve reached the desired consistency.

Garnish with fresh berries if you’re feeling fancy, and enjoy your ، berry smoothie!

Easy Subs،utions

• Thicken it up. Add some plain Greek yogurt to make your smoothie extra creamy, not to mention it’ll add an extra punch of protein. You could also use milk instead of water
• Switch out your greens. If you don’t have spinach, you can also use kale or any other leafy green in your fridge.
• Use your own berry blend. Use what you like! If you only have raspberries, use only raspberries. Fresh or frozen, any combination is good.
• Swap the add-ins. If you don’t have flaxseed meal, or just don’t want to use it, there are other great things you can add-in for antioxidants and other benefits, like chia seeds, oats, or protein powder!
