When I think of a smoothie, two main types come to mind: a decadent one filled with chocolate, nuts, and dates; and a refreshing one that makes me feel like I have my life together while drinking it. This smoothie is of the latter type. I hope it will make

Ingredients for the Immune Boosting Smoothie Recipe

2 bananas*, frozen preferred
1 orange, peeled
1 knob of ginger
1 tablespoon peanut butter*
1 tablespoon flax seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup spinach
1.5 cup plant milk, unsweetened
optional: ¼ teaspoon turmeric, ground* & pinch of black pepper

Substitution Suggestions:

You may substitute the bananas with zucchini for a lower-calorie, less-sweet, banana-free smoothie option.
For nut allergies, you can substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
You may use one knob of harder-to-find fresh turmeric instead of ground to substitute.

How to Make This Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie

If using frozen bananas, add them to the blender and blend on high until smooth. Add the plant milk if the blender is having trouble.
Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until creamy. Scrape down the sides if necessary.
Adjust flavors to taste: add more banana for more sweetness, ginger for more zestiness, and turmeric for extra warmth.
