  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Microplane or box grater
  • Cutting board and sharp knife
  • Two glasses for serving

Method
 

  1. Peel and mince the fresh ginger using a spoon or microplane to create a fine paste.

  3. Add one cup of plain Greek yogurt on top of the banana in the blender.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup fresh orange juice and 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk.
  5. Drizzle 1 tablespoon raw honey and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract into the blender.
  6. Add the prepared fresh ginger to the blender with the other ingredients.
  7. Toss in 3 to 4 ice cubes just before blending.
  8. Blend on high speed for 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

Notes

If the smoothie is too thin, add another half frozen banana next time rather than more yogurt to avoid a heavy texture.
