Morning Wellness Smoothie

If you love healthy, nutrient-dense smoothies, then you are going to fall head over heels for this flavorful creation. It contains ingredients that pack a serious nutritional punch. We are talking about potent antioxidants, phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals that the body can easily absorb. In fact, drinking a smoothie on an empty stomach is the best time to enjoy one. The reason for this is because the ingredients are predigested in their blended form, so the digestive system doesn’t have to work hard to break them down to absorb the nutrients.

Every smoothie has a couple standout ingredients, and the stars of this smoothie are the ginger and the beets. Beets are misunderstood root vegetables and many people dislike them. We like to say that you dislike beets until you enjoy them in the right way. They exhibit a somewhat earthy flavor, so you have to balance that with sweeter, tangy, or savory flavors. For example, we combine the beets with blueberries, carrots, mangos, and dates in this smoothie, so you barely taste them, and yet you still get all the benefits. Beets are great sources of vitamin C, iron, fiber, potassium, and incredibly low in calories

Ginger is a powerful superfood that exhibits a long list of medicinal properties. It has a long history of use in alternative medicine practices, primarily for the anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, neuroprotective, and anti-nausea compounds. Offering a subtle peppery kick, ginger is a rich source of antioxidants, zinc, folate, magnesium, and vitamins B3 and B6. It does have a prominent taste, but that’s why the sweeter ingredients are in this smoothie. We hope you love this creation, and tag us on your socials if you make it!
