Ginger & Maryanne Smoothie





Makes 4 8oz smoothies

Ingredients:
1 Banana-peeled. Frozen or fresh 
1/4 Teaspoon Fresh Grated Ginger
1/2 Tablespoon Unsweetned shredded coconut
1/4 Cup Frozen Chunk Pineapple
1/4 Cup Frozen Sliced Strawberries 
1/4 Cup Frozen Sliced Peaches 
2 Cups Organic Unsweetned Orange Juice 
  
Directions: 
Combine all ingredients in blender. Add more orange juice if you prefer a juicy consistency rather than a slushy consistency. 



I make a mix of fresh fruits and freeze in portion sized labeled freezer bags so I can quickly grab one and have my fruit pre-measured for my smoothies. If you don't have frozen fruit you can always use fresh and add about 4-5 ice cubes. 

*The ginger in this smoothie is great to help soothe an upset tummy.*
