Ginger Winter Green Smoothie
We are all trying to eat better, especially as we get older. And we are all getting older, some a little faster than others. ;-)
With my own age creeping ever higher I have been exploring more green smoothies and found one from Victoria Boutenko from Raw Family and wish to share it with you. The key ingredient here is fresh ginger or ginger-root.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup organic frozen berries (any kinds, but I prefer a good mix with blueberries)
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 inch ginger-root, or to taste (I will usually grate mine into the blender first.)
Some more reasons you may wish to increase your ginger consumption.
* Enhances natural resistance for cold and flu.
* Reduces inflammation.
* Contains at least 12 anti-aging constituents that inactivate free radicals.
* Supports blood platelet health and cardiovascular function.
* Twenty-two known constituents inhibit inflammatory 5-lipoxygenase, supports prostate health.
Ginger is a good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium and Selenium, and Manganese. Find out more about ginger at The University of Maryland Medical Center.
Kool Kiwi Sensation Smoothie
I love Kiwi but it doesn’t make it into many smoothies for me. Not sure why since it is an incredibly healthy addition to any smoothie and with high counts of vitamin A and E it is a welcome food to our bodies. I think kiwis need a little help so I have added strawberries to this smoothie. But don’t worry, the kiwi flavor will come though giving you a different taste than you may be used to.
Ingredients:
- 2 kiwis (peeled and sliced)
- 2 cups strawberries
- 1/3 cup kiwi-strawberry juice
- 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups ice
Blend and serve and feel healthier.
Peppermint Smoothie Delight
Theresa Raffetto
Christmas is coming and one of the best Christmas aromas is the cool refreshing scent of peppermint. Add a little Christmas flavor to your smoothie this year and try adding peppermint to a smoothie. While this peppermint smoothie isn’t exactly healthy, it is wonderful for a treat now and then. If you have peppermint lovers in your family (peppermint bark, anyone?) then this cool smoothie will be sure to please.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt (you can use it unfrozen but it will be too runny)
- 2 cups of 1% milk
- 2 tbs crushed pepermint candy (or peppermint bark for some chocolate flavor)
- 1 1/2 cups of ice
- optional peppermint sprig for garnish
Add to a blender and create your Christmastime Peppermint Smoothie! You may need to blend a little longer to get the peppermint candy pulverized.
We hope this smoothie recipe provieds you with the smoothie of your dreams.Still want more delicious smoothie recipes? Try looking at the
