Instructions
Prepare the Ginger
Peel the fresh ginger root using a spoon edge and roughly chop it into smaller pieces. Fresh ginger delivers far more anti-inflammatory gingerols than dried powder.
Layer the Blender
Add the almond milk to the blender first, then add the spinach, ginger, and Greek yogurt. Layering liquids first protects your blender motor and ensures smoother blending.
Add Frozen Ingredients
Place the frozen wild blueberries and ground flaxseed on top of the other ingredients. The frozen blueberries will chill the smoothie naturally without the need for ice.
Blend and Serve
Blend on high for 60 seconds until completely smooth. Pour into a tall glass and consume immediately for maximum antioxidant benefit. Do not let it sit as oxidation reduces nutrient potency.
