Immune Boosting Green Smoothie
Nutrient packed green smoothie that boosts immune system!
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- Kale Organic*, enough to fill your blender!
- Spinach Organic*, 1-2 cups
- Ginger Root fresh, grated (Organic*)
- Turmeric Root fresh, grated (Organic*)
- 3 Tbsp Flax Seeds or Chia Seeds whole unground
- Walnuts
- Psyllium Husk Powder
- ½ Large Lemon Juiced
- Fruit Of Choice* We use: For 1 large blender-full 1 banana, ⅓ cup organic mango, organic 1/2 apple, a handful of organic blueberries and 1-2 organic strawberries
Instructions
- Fill blender with kale and spinach (or greens of choice) until ¾ full, pressed down- NOT loose and airy!
- Add fruit, ginger and turmeric root, psyllium husk powder, and nuts and seeds to the top ¼ of blender
- Fill with clean drinking water until water level is just above the greens
- Finally, add the juice of 1 fresh lemon (or half of a large lemon) into the blender! Add extra lemon if desired- it really helps cut down on the “grassy” taste of the greens and allows the fruit to pop!
- Blend well- and enjoy!
Notes
- Try to drink the entire smoothie shortly after making in order to absorb maximum benefits of the freshly ground seeds and veggies!
- Add additional water to thin if it’s thicker than you prefer!
