Cherry-Ginger Smoothie

³ Description

This is recovery smoothie for gym-goers that helps muscles bounce back fast after an intense workout. Cherries and ginger both have anti-inflammatory properties, and are good for pain relief.

² Ingredients

•  1/2 cup Frozen Cherries
•  1 serving (serving = 1 scoop) Sun Warrior Vanilla Protein Powder
•  1/2 tsp Ginger
•  1 serving (serving = 1/4 tsp) Tone's Pure Almond Extract
•  1/2 tsp Cinnamon
•  0.333 serving (serving = 1 cup) Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Milk

q Directions

1/2 C cherries (fresh or frozen)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 in piece of fresh ginger, grated
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp Guar Gum (optional)
1/4-1/2 C unsweetened almond milk
Ice, to taste
1 C spinach (optional)

Place everything in a blender and blend until smooth.
Notes:
You can adjust the milk and ice to suit your preference. I like my smoothies super thick, so I use more ice and less milk.
Guar Gum is optional, but I recommend investing in some. It’s often used as a binder and volume-enhancer in ice creams and shakes, making them more creamy and thick.
I include a giant handful of spinach in nearly all of my protein smoothies. I swear you can’t taste it. This is a great way to sneak in another serving of greens and add a little more iron to your diet to promote muscle health and energy metabolism. Warning: Spinach will turn your pretty red smoothie a funky green color!
