Ingredient Highlights
Also known as muskmelon, rockmelon, and sweet melon, cantaloupe is a hydrating summer fruit rich in vitamin C, zeaxanthin, and carotenoids. It’s beneficial for eye health, lung health, and supporting healthy blood pressure and a strong immune system.
Coconut oil provides a boost of healthy fat that can energize and satiate. It is a strong antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial food.
Ginger is a potent aromatic herb and a good natural source of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, copper, and manganese. It has been used for thousands of years in Asia to treat stomachache, diarrhea, and nausea.
With the Organixx Clean Sourced Collagens in this recipe, you not only get 5 different types of collagen, but also camu camu, acerola cherry, horsetail extract (silica), and zinc gluconate to ensure your body can actually USE the collagen you’re taking.
Raw honey is a good source of many vitamins and is rich in antioxidants. Its antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties can help improve overall immune function.
I am hoping to buy a new blender soon (Pampered Chef has theirs on sale till the end of August 2021). This would be a smoothie I could see myself enjoying. I like the idea of putting grated ginger root in the smoothie as well.
Hi Joanne! This smoothie was delicious with such a unique flavor and the ginger makes it irresistible!
