Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger (or 1 teaspoon ginger powder)
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
Ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional, for added health benefits)
Directions:
Begin by peeling the banana and placing it into a blender.
Add the grated ginger, fresh lemon juice, almond milk, and any optional ingredients (honey, turmeric, or ice cubes) into the blender.
Blend everything on high until smooth and creamy, ensuring the ginger is fully incorporated.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or syrup.
Once the desired texture and flavor are achieved, pour the smoothie into a glass.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve immediately for the freshest taste, garnishing with a thin slice of lemon or a sprinkle of ginger powder for an extra touch of flavor.
If you're planning to store the smoothie for later, pour it into an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. However, the best taste and texture are achieved when freshly made.
