It can be very challenging to enjoy smoothies during the cooler months. I’ll be the first to admit that a warm, nourishing bowl of porridge soothes my soul and keeps me grounded for the day. However, on occasion, I do still like to enjoy a smoothie as smoothies truly are one of the best ways to give our body an easily digested dose of nutrients. This wintergreen smoothie is one I’ve been enjoying recently either for breakfast or an afternoon snack. It contains ginger which is great to support circulation, cinnamon which helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, apple which is high in fibre, kale which is also high in fibre as well as vitamin A, C, K, folate and flaxseed oil which has omega-3 fatty acids.

Ingredients:

 1 serving of vanilla protein powder or collagen powder
 1 tbsp flaxseed oil
 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
 3 kale leaves, de-steamed
 1 apple
 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
 ½ tsp cinnamon
 1 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
 ½ cup water

Method:

1

Add all ingredients into a blender and blend together until smooth.
Enjoy for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
