Groovy Green Ginger Berry Smoothie Plus 10 Smoothies for Energy and Vitality

Like many of you, I am a big fan of ginger, so this delightful, pungent root is the star ingredient in

my groovy green ginger berry smoothie.

Among its many health benefits, ginger contains a substance called 6-gingerol, which may have

protective effects against cancer.

In addition, ginger is loaded with nutrients and bio-active compounds that have powerful benefits

for your body and brain.

Ginger has been used for centuries to aid digestion, reduce nausea and inflammation, and to help

fight the flu and common cold.

I also love to try new , so when I saw these 10 healthy and tasty vegan and

vegetarian smoothies below, I just had to share them with you.

Let’s shake things up in the kitchen with these healthy and delicious shake and smoothie recipes.
