SMOOTHIE 4 - MIXED BERRY AND GINGER




This smoothie was absolutely delicious! I'm loving the fruit smoothies with ginger.

Ingredients:
Cup of cold water
Juice of 1 lemon
Inch cube of fresh ginger
Vanilla protein powder
Frozen mixed berries
Frozen strawberries
Hand full of spinach

I added a banana to Jon's smoothie, but mine was filling enough without it.

This has been one of the quickest and easiest smoothies due to the minimal amount of chopping/peeling required. I did need to use quite a bit of water as the frozen fruits make the smoothie too thick for me. It’s a real quick way to make a berry sorbet for a quick and healthy desert! I'm going to try to remember that for the future!

One thing I have learnt is that no matter how much you try to get all of the seeds out of the lemon before squeezing into your smoothie mix, there will always be at least one or two extra’s that come out! Once they have fallen in, they are such a pain to fish out! I think I will juice the lemon in a small cup before adding to the smoothie from now on.
