Creamy Strawberry Ginger Green Smoothie

I’ve been on a ginger kick lately. I’m recovering from a gluten/sugar bender that has sent my body into full autoimmune flare mode. I have been doing all the things to try to recover as fast as possible, including drinking ginger tea-despite the 110 degree temperature outside.

Not being one to waste some perfectly good ginger pieces used in tea, I have been adding them to smoothies. I think I have discovered a new family favorite around here.

Ginger + strawberry = <3

Ginger pairs perfectly strawberry in this smoothie to give just enough spice and sweet. I promise you can’t taste the spinach or avocado. The avocado just makes the smoothie creamy without adding banana. And spinach is my favorite for green smoothies since it doesn’t alter the taste.

If you haven’t jumped on the green smoothie wagon, it’s time. It’s an easy and tasty way to get you and your kids some greens without noticing. I have about 10 of these smoothie pouches for my kids so they can’t see the green hue of their smoothies. I often serve a green smoothie as a snack or as a dinner side after a long day.

Green smoothies make life and filling kids with greens so easy.

If you have leftovers, pour into popsicle molds. The kids (grown ups too!) always get excited for popsicle on a hot day.

Give this smoothie a try and you won’t regret it. Get a healthy dose of spinach without the need for dairy or other alternate milk. If you enjoy this smoothie, you are sure to love this green mango smoothie as well. It only has five ingredients.
