This smoothie recipe is such a winner! Packed with refreshing basil and citrus, your taste buds will love this combo. I love a good smoothie on mornings where I’m looking for a lighter breakfast or a pick-me-up afternoon snack.
Reasons I love this smoothie:
- It’s packed with Vitamin C-rich citrus, which helps promote collagen production in the skin
- It packs a refreshing liver-loving punch with basil and spinach, which are both wonderful sources of chlorophyll
- I like to use the banana when I’m opting for a post-workout smoothie, or avocado when I’m looking for a little bit of extra hormonal support.
- Ginger is super inflammatory and wonderful for digestion.
