Ingredients:

Frozen fruit for smoothie

Frozen fruit for smoothie

  • 5-6 Fresh Raspberries
  • 3-4 Fresh Strawberries
  • 3-4 Chunks Fresh Pineapple
  • 3/4 of a Banana
  • 1/2 inch Turmeric root, chopped
  • 1/2 inch Ginger root, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Flax seeds
  • 1/2 tbsp Kuli Kuli Moringa Powder
  • 1/2 cup Non-Dairy Milk
  • Water

Instructions:

Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth & creamy.

 

Additional Tips

  1. If you don’t have access to ginger or turmeric root you can substitute them with the dried form found in the spice section of most grocery stores.
  2. For the flax seeds, make sure you buy them whole!  Store bought pre-ground flax seeds don’t give you the same nutritional benefits as freshly ground ones because the healthy polyunsaturated fats can break down over time. You can either use a coffee grinder to grind up your flax seeds or let the blender do the work!
  3. I like to use Living Harvest unsweetened original hemp milk which is by far my favorite thing to drink other than water and this smoothie. It’s high in omega 3+6 and is a good source of vitamins B12 and D.
  4. Once I have all the ingredients together in the blender with the hemp milk, I add just enough water so that the level of liquid is at about the same height as the other ingredients.
  5. The longest part of creating a smoothie is the prep of the ingredients, and maybe a little cleanup. You can always adjust the thickness of a smoothie by adding liquid to make it more thin, and fruit to make it more thick.
