A quick and easy smoothie packed with fresh citrus, berries, and a hint of ginger for a bright morning boost. Perfect for New Year’s mornings or any time you want a refreshing, nutritious start.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 orange, peeled and segmented
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 cup coconut water
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the banana, peel and segment the orange, and grate the fresh ginger (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add the banana, orange segments, and frozen mixed berries to a high-speed blender.
  3. Add 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and 1 cup coconut water to the blender.
  4. Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if using. Taste before adding sweetener.
  5. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add more coconut water by tablespoon if too thick.
  6. Optional: Stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds after blending and let sit a few minutes to swell.
  7. Pour into serving glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe bananas and fresh oranges for best flavor. Frozen berries chill the smoothie without watering it down. Adjust ginger amount to taste. Prep fruit the night before to save time. If using a regular blender, blend longer and add extra coconut water as needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours; do not freeze.
