You can throw just about anything in a fruit smoothie to enhance its flavor such as honey, tofu, jams, any combination of fruits, peanut butter, juices, etc., but keep in mind it will effect the nutritional values.
1 apple, cored, peeled, and sliced 1 lemon, peeled and seeded 1/2 cups filtered water 1/2 cups ice 1 (2-inch) piece fresh gingerroot, peeled and crushed
This is a good smoothie for a queasy tummy. Drink it slowly. Blend all ingredients until smooth.
Recent study in the journal Medical Science Monitor revealed that consuming Ginger releaved migraine pain in 82% of sufferers. The credit goes to gingerols which inhibit prostaglandis and leukotrienes, inflammatory neurotransmitters that trigger head pain. Ginger also tames stomach upset, from general nausea to motion and morning sickness. One more reason to consume gingerrot is that just 1 tsp. per day can end muscle and joint pain, according to Danish Researchers.
