Breakfast/Brunch

Kale, Apple & Ginger Smoothie

kale apple and ginger smoothie

Have those mornings when you wake up feeling nauseous and don’t want to eat anything? Fight it! Always make sure you get in that nutritious breakfast. I made this Kale Apple and Ginger smoothie when I was having one of those mornings. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, studies indicated that ginger can reduce the severity and duration of different forms of nausea. It’s a light smoothie with a coconut milk base, it’s filled with nutritious goodies, and it’s naturally sweetened with some homemade blueberry compote with organic honey. Instead, you can use fresh blueberries and add in a bit of honey straight into the smoothie. I had some leftover compote in my fridge from baking the previous day and decided to use that instead.
