Kale & Ginger Smoothie
- 2 cups almond milk or coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup blueberries - frozen will do
- 1/2 fresh apple (i use the soft apples for my smoothies)
- 1/2 cup kale - washed well and stem removed
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (I use a chunk of peeled fresh ginger)
- 1/4 cup parsley - washed (use stems as well)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric - ground
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon flax seeds - ground
- 1 teaspoon flax seed oil
- 1/2 cup frozen fruit (mixed berries, peaches etc.)
- Pour almond or coconut milk into a blender & add chia seeds to allow the chia seeds to soak for 5-10 minutes. (When you soak the seeds in the milk, they expand and become gelatinous, a property that aids digestion and contributes to their low glycemic index)
- Add all remaining ingredients and blend until chunks are liquified and the smoothie is the consistency you desire.
- Pour into 2 large glasses and enjoy.
