Jonathan came home for lunch one day and came up with this apple ginger smoothie combination. I didn’t initially think all of the different flavors sounded particularly appealing. But, surprise, surprise, I was WRONG; this was a GREAT combination.
Ginger is the kicker. Ginger brings the smoothie together. Ginger is such a fresh flavor. If you have never had fresh ginger before, a little ginger goes a long way! Plus, ginger is so healthy for you since it is a cancer fighter, helps pain, kills microbes and more. You can learn more about the benefits of ginger at Livestrong.
We have been learning so much about food and are continually adding different flavors to our palate. It is so fun to mix different flavors. All of our kids totally loved it, too!!

Looks gorgeous and sounds delicious. I am a BIG fan of ginger and love it in juices (one I drink is the “appple jack” apple, beet, ginger and lime! Yum.) But the green aspect is more my speed. Thanks for sharing over at Raising Arrows!
Hi Becca. Your combination sounds like a great mix, too! Thanks for sharing and visiting!
I just whipped up an Apple-Carrot-Ginger Smoothie which I’ll be sharing soon, such a fun twist on a Smoothie (I say as I sip on today’s variation of my Green Smoothie)
