Prep Time

5 min

Ingredients

2 oranges, peeled

1 thumb-sized knob of ginger

1 large banana, frozen*

1 handful spinach

1/2 lemon, peeled

1/2 cup plain kefir or yogurt

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Notes

*You can dice your banana the night before and freeze it in a Ziplock bag, you can also freeze multiple bananas at one time, but put them in separate bags so they don't freeze into a huge lump. If you use an unfrozen banana you can add 1/2-1 cup of ice to make it colder.

Side

Dandelion Greens with a Kick

Dandelion greens are one of my favorite bitters! They are not for everyone, but I enjoy their unique flavor. I decided to try them sautéed instead of in a salad and it was a huge hit! Makes good use of those dandelions in the yard or you can usually find dandelion greens at the grocery or Asian market.
