Happy Monday! Start your week out right with this green smoothie!
The tropical flavors of coconut, lime and ginger honestly make it taste like a vacation in a glass!
I usually save ginger for juicing, I’m not sure why because it tastes amazing in smoothies! I can’t say enough about the healing qualities of ginger. Ginger has been used for thousands of years to treat gastrointestinal distress and increase digestion. It was a lifesaver when I was pregnant and suffering from morning all day sickness. It works to alleviate motion sickness too! For nausea, make a tea by steeping a 1/2 inch piece of ginger in hot water.
Not only is ginger beneficial for GI issues, it is a powerful anti-inflammatory. The active compound is called gingerols. Studies show that when consumed regularly, arthritic pain is significantly reduced. (The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods) To benefit from the anti-inflammatory qualities of ginger, consume at least a 1/4 inch piece daily.
