Ginger Smoothie
With fresh ginger AND a bit of powdered ginger for 2x the ginger taste! This cool, refreshing smoothie is a great little cold-and-flu fighter, but if you're a ginger lover, you'll enjoy this one anytime.
Ingredients
- 1 pinky-sized piece ginger peeled
- 1 banana peeled
- 1/2 cup almond milk or non-dairy milk of choice
- 2 teaspoons honey or pure maple syrup, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a high-powered blender and puree until completely smooth. Pour into a large glass and serve with a straw. If your blender is not high-powered and/or your ginger is particularly fibrous, you may want to dice the ginger first to help ensure it blends into the smoothie.
