This smoothie is wonderfully filling and can also be used as a base to build other smoothies upon. I will be posting my Chocolate and Banana smoothie next using this Smoothie recipe as my base. 

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.*
