Melon Ginger Smoothie

The ginger in this recipe will give you a littler perk. It’s a great way to refresh after working out or a great way to start your day.

This recipe makes 2 servings (1 cup each)

Ingredients:

1/3 cup chopped peeled kiwi, (1 large)
1/2 ripe banana, sliced
1 cup chopped honeydew melon
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/4 cup white grape juice
1/2 teaspoon ginger juice, (see note)
1/3 cup lemon sorbet
1/2 cup ice

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a Vita-Mix blender.

Pulse three times (this will chop the fruit).

Blend until smooth.

Note: You will have to look for bottled ginger juice in a health-food store or gourmet market. Another option is making your own – squeeze chopped fresh ginger through a garlic press or piece of cheesecloth.
