Fresh ginger is a great way to spice up a green smoothie and works best with citrus fruits like lemon and lime. This dairy-free ginger green smoothie recipe is perfect for any day!
Ginger has a variety of health benefits and has been used medicinally for centuries. Ginger is widely known for its immune-boosting and stomach-settling abilities. It is effective in treating nausea from motion and morning sickness (1, 2, 3, 4).
Some studies suggest that ginger can help relieve intestinal gas and speed up digestion. Ginger also helps lower total cholesterol and blood triglycerides and reduce menstrual pain. It might help prevent cancer as well! (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12).
Always choose fresh ginger. The root should be firm, smooth and free of mold but, of course, it’s better to choose organic ginger, if possible.
By the way, the best place to store ginger is your refrigerator. This anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting smoothie is perfect for breakfast or a snack.
