This smoothie is not just a refreshing drink, it’s also a powerhouse of essential nutrients that are vital for your overall health and is hydrating to boot!!! It also provides your body with a significant dose of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that combats free radicals and supports collagen production for healthy skin and tissue repair. Furthermore, this nutrient-packed concoction contains folate, a crucial B vitamin that plays a pivotal role in DNA synthesis and repair.

There’s also anti-inflammatory quercetin from the apple skin and gingerol from ginger to further enhance the nutritional value of this smoothie by working to reduce inflammation throughout the body and aid digestion and gastrointestinal discomfort. And if you choose to include organic greens in this smoothie, you’ll not only enhance this holistic elixir’s nutritional profile, but also contribute to reaching your body’s optimal energy levels.
