Ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg add some wellness and warmth to your smoothie ritual.
This spicy, creamy drink is not only delicious and filling, it also feels like it fuels me “well”.
Ginger is a known anti-inflammatory and great for immune function, while cinnamon can play a part in lowering blood pressure. It’s good for combating exercise-induced oxidative stress.
Actually, my kids like this drink too.
It’s a good change from the thrashed faves of chocolate, banana, and berry smoothies we often have in our house. This drink would pair nicely with some gingerbread men biscuits.
