There is no better way than to start your morning with a healing green smoothie. You can pack a ton of nutrient dense goodness into your blender and viola! You’ve got yourself a healing elixir to help fuel your morning.
One of the best ways to spruce up a green smoothie is to try incorporating different healing spices and herbs. From turmeric, to cinnamon and ginger, I love adding these powerful healing spices to my morning smoothie.
This delicious vanilla and ginger green smoothie is full of powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties from ginger. You can choose to use freshly grated ginger or ground ginger. Either one will work in this recipe. Ginger has numerous health benefits, from helping to combat nausea, to settling an upset stomach and reducing pain and inflammation.
