Banana Pineapple Cantaloupe Golden Sunshine Smoothie

This delicious smoothie is called Golden Sunshine Smoothie for a few reasons... With the most obvious being that is the color of the Sun, and the other being that it is packed with many vitamins and nutrients including vitamin C! This smoothie is a great way to stay hydrated and cool during these hot summer months.

Let's just break down the nutritional value of a glass of this smoothie. The banana will make you feel full of energy and is also known for it's great potassium content. Bye bye cramps! The pineapple will add sweetness to the smoothie as well as tons of disease fighting Vitamin C! The cantaloupe is also one which boosts immunity and holds a ton of Vitamin A and so does the carrot. Ginger is known for it's anti-inflammatory effects, and it's always best to incorporate some greens for added benefits. The healthy fat of the Flax seed is known to reduce the risk of heart disease.... See my section on the Healthy Omegas for a great avocado substitute recipe!

Within a few minutes I was able to whip up a visually appealing smoothie recipe with a great taste to back it up. It's so refreshing.... Check out the easy peasy recipe below!

 

 

Ingredients
1 medium banana
1 cup of diced pineapples
1 cup of diced cantaloupe
1/3 piece of a medium carrot
1 tsp of grated ginger
1/3 cup of spinach
2 Tbsp of flax seed oil
1 to 1.5 cups of water

 

Add all ingredients into a blender and blend for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. This usually depends on the consistency of smoothness that you like. Again my preferred choice is the Vitamix. Enjoy!!
