Every day I drink a fresh fruit smoothie for breakfast. I usually put an apple in it, 1/2 a pear, whatever fruit is on sale that week, like strawberries, raspberries, or grapes, and orange juice. Every once in a while I'll buy a branch of fresh ginger to add in.
This morning, nearing the end of my fruit stash for the week, I had one apple and one pear left, along with some ginger, so that's what went into the smoothie.
What a surprise! It was refreshing and delicious! Here's the recipe:
SMOOTHIE WITH FRESH GINGER
One apple
One pear
A one-inch piece of ginger, peeled
Orange juice - enough to cover the fruit
Place everything into the blender and blend it up until it's smooth. Pour it into a Phoenix Suns glass and drink it!
