A tropical orange smoothie with a twist of citrus spice!
Toasted coconut is always such a powerful flavor. The nutty taste of the coconut really comes alive when it is toasted. We captured that delicious flavor in this toasted coconut orange smoothie. It is perfectly coconutty, a little citrusy and also has a slight spice.
“delicious flavor in this toasted coconut orange smoothie”
What makes this orange smoothie spicy? The ground ginger of course! Ground ginger has a nice kick to it, giving the smoothie a little more dimension. You can also choose to use fresh grated ginger root in place of the ground ginger. Fresh grated ginger will give your smoothie and even stronger, spicy taste.
Ginger is also very healthy. It is known to reduce inflammation and also help boost your immune system. Drinking ginger can also help relieve nausea and ease flu like symptoms. If you are feeling a little under the weather, this non alcoholic toasted coconut smoothie is sure to perk you up right away!
We love making this smoothie for breakfast or for after a hard workout. It is a delicious treat to wake up to and the tropical taste will ensure you start your day off the right way. A little orange juice, some coconut, powerful ginger and you are ready to go! Enjoy.
