This smoothie is not only amazingly delicious, but it is loaded with some major antioxidant goodness. I’ve been drinking one every morning for over a week now. I actually can’t wait until morning everyday, just so I can drink one. I absolutely love smoothies and more importantly, love how they make me feel.
My daughter absolutely loves them too. When prepping it each morning, she says “smoomoo”!!
This smoothie is incredibly high in Vitamins A, C and E just to name a few. There is actually so many benefits, it would take forever to name them all. I recommend a whole orange over just orange juice because the majority of the benefits and nutrients come from the pulp of the orange.
Parsley is high in vitamin A, C and incredibly high in vitamin K….153% of our daily RDA, in fact! It is also high in luteolin, which acts as an anti-inflammatory agent in the body. Ginger also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, as well as promoting absorption of other nutrients into the body. Blueberries are an antioxidant powerhouse, being one of the highest antioxidant fruits out of all fruit.
So, basically, drink this smoothie everyday and boost your immune system!!
Sunrise Detox Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup frozen wild blueberries
- 1 whole orange, peeled and seeded
- 1 small handful parsley (you cannot taste the parsley at all in this smoothie, so you can adjust more or less)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 cup (240g) orange juice
- 1 cup (240g) coconut water or plain water
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth. If you do not have a high-powered blender, let the strawberries thaw for 15-20 minutes first, otherwise it is hard to blend and you don't want to add too much water to dilute the flavor.
Notes
This smoothie is so delicious, even if you forget to add the ginger like I did! Oops! I love how nutritious it is, and very filling!
So happy you loved it Coby, thank you!
