Sunshine Smoothy
Ingredients:
- 1 large carrot, peeled, trimmed and cut into large chunks
- +/- 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple
- 1 peeled Sumo orange (or any other type you like)
- ½ banana
- 1/3 cup almond, soy or other non-dairy milk
- small chunk peeled ginger (use more or less to taste)
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric (optional)
- Handful of spinach (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon ground flax (optional)
Directions:
lace all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. If using fresh pineapple, add 1-2 ice-cubes.
- Note: the ginger and turmeric will give this smoothie a lovely spiciness to it. Don’t shy away from using these highly anti-inflammatory ingredients. The flavor is different, but really tasty.
- Another note: the optional spinach will add a boost of iron, vitamin K and good protein to your smoothie but the color will not be as pretty and bright.
- Hint: to save time on busy mornings, place all ingredients in a bowl or in the blender jar the night before and store in fridge until ready to blend.
And there you have it, sunshine on a dreary day.
