Your energy and focus depend on sound digestion, in other words a happy belly. When your digestion is off it is a real energy zapper - don’t you know it! This Orange Spice Smoothie is here to help.
Think Creamsicle with a kick, and packed with a storehouse of nutrients for digestive, brain and heart health, and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s a powerful blend of oranges, banana, ginger root, turmeric root and cinnamon in a dairy-free base with a bit of probiotic. The ground black pepper aids in absorption of the curcumin in turmeric (it won't be tasted). A perfect smoothie to energize and reset your week or anytime you are dragging.
Smoothie tip: buy an extra bunch of bananas, peel and cut in half and keep them in the freezer for quick smoothie making access.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Serves: 1 - 2 (yields 12 oz of smoothie)
