Ginger Berry Smoothie | Dietitian Debbie Dishes

It’s the middle of winter and yet I can’t seem to get out of this smoothie kick! I figured I might as well run with it even though smoothies aren’t my usual go-to breakfast during these snow winter months. (Sorry oatmeal…) The ingredient that makes this smoothie extra special is the ginger. I had some fresh ginger root leftover from my vegan chana masala so I thought I would toss it into my smoothie in the morning for fun. It turned out to be my new favorite ingredient! 

Ginger is actually one powerful food. It has been used for thousands of years to treat various GI issues such as nausea and diarrhea. In fact, double blind clinical trials have shown that ginger is safe and effective for alleviating nausea in pregnant women. Consumption of ginger has even been linked to decreased joint pain in those with osteoarthritis. No wonder, since it is chock full of a powerful anti-inflammatory compound called gingerol, which may be the reason for its positive effects on those with joint pain. The combination of ginger, fiber, and yogurt in this smoothie decrease bloat and promote a healthy gut. A great way to start off your morning if you ask me!

    I’ve never thought about putting ginger in a smoothie! Good timing too, I just found out I am pregnant, so I will likely be making this real soon! 🙂

    Admittedly I’m not a huge fan of smoothies – they’re just not my thing. But this flavor combo sounds great! Now I just need to figure out a sub for the banana (also not my thing, lol!)!

    This is absolutely delicious and pretty low calories for a smoothie. I never tried ginger in a smoothie before — what a great way to get the benefits and I love the little zing it provides! I’m totally hooked on it. I have it for breakfast and it keeps me full until lunch time. I make it with blueberries, raspberries and strawberries but I’m thinking this would be good too with apricots instead of berries. Gotta try that next. Thank you!

      Yay! So glad you enjoyed the smoothie, Denise! It is hard to keep myself from adding ginger to every smoothie I make here in the blog. Haha. 🙂 I think the apricots sound like a delicious idea!
