Cold Killer Smoothie
Cold Killer Smoothie loaded with vitamin C, ginger, bananas, honey and spinach to fight off that sickness.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1/2-3/4 cup water or orange or pineapple juice
- 2 medium oranges peel removed
- 1/2-2 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.
