My current smoothie obsession is…

 

I have been ordering organic veggies for delivery these past months. In one of my first orders, I accidentally ordered 1 kg (approx 2 lbs) of organic ginger!! 

My overflowing ginger supply inspired me to get creative about putting it to good use. 

My favorite discovery? I loooove a big piece of peeled ginger in my morning berry smoothie! 

It’s both the flavor and the health benefits that get me.

 

5 Reasons WE 💚 ginger…

  1. Ginger has powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
  2. Ginger is a hero for your digestion, relieving bloating and constipation related to IBS and SIBO.
  3. Ginger supports healthy insulin sensitivity, important for speeding up your metabolism and promoting weight loss naturally.
  4. Ginger has been shown to ease aches and pains.
  5. Ginger has anti-cancer benefits.

 

PRO TIP:

Let your digestion guide you on quantity! 

💩 Too much ginger may lead to excessive bowel movements or acid reflux in those who are more prone to it. 

 

➡️Start with a small ¼ inch slice of peeled ginger and increase as high as a 1 inch slice for maximum ginger anti-inflammatory and flavor potency.
