IMMUNE BOOSTING PINEAPPLE GINGER SMOOTHIE

by Olga Savel | JUNE 1, 2020

Servings: 1

INGREDIENTS:

• Fresh ⁣Pineapple
• ⁣1 Banana⁣
• Ginger Water⁣
• 1 tsp Turmeric Powder⁣
• 1 tsp Ashwagandha Powder ⁣
• 1/2 tsp Ester C Vitamin C Powder ⁣

Instructions:

1. Make Ginger water first: cut 3-4 pieces of ginger root, add to a small saucepan, bring to boil, reduce to simmer and let it cool or use while still hot/warm.
2. Add the fruit, ginger water, all powders to a blender and blend until smooth.
   
   

Recipe Notes:

1. Usually, I use a room temp ginger water, to make sure Vitamin C is not destroyed. This time I wanted to have a warmer drink to comfort my throat, that’s why I used hot ginger water. My pineapple & banana were right out of the refrigerator and that quickly cooled down the ginger water. ⁣
2. I’m also taking higher dosages of Vitamin C since we are in times of global pandemic. The regular dose is 2/3 tsp. ⁣ ⁣
3. You can use frozen pineapple chunks. If the smoothie gets too thick, add more ginger water 1 tablespoon at a time.
