Since I started working from home, green smoothies have become a regular part of my morning routine. It always makes me feel good knowing that I’m getting in a serving of greens before the day even starts.

I almost never made them when I used to work at the hospital because I always told myself I didn’t have the time. Blasphemy!

Taking 10 minutes to prep these smoothie packs in advance means that all you need is 5 minutes to throw them in the blender in the morning.

I’m telling you, it’s so easy and it’s sustainable too. The plastic baggies can be reused by giving them a quick rinse and letting them air dry throughout the day, and you can take the smoothie to-go in a ball jar fitted with a stainless steel lid and straw.

This combo has been my favorite lately because it is chock full of healthy probiotics and enzymes to keep your digestion in tip top shape.

Here’s what’s inside:

  • Fresh ginger reduces intestinal inflammation and supports overall digestive and immune health.
  • Lemon juice signals the liver to produce bile which helps keep your food moving through your digestive tract, and also aids in detoxification and reducing bloat.
  • Dairy-free yogurt provides a host of probiotics that help with digestion and immune function. You can check out my dairy-free yogurt review for specific brand recommendations.
  • Frozen Pineapple and pineapple juice contain fiber and digestive enzymes that help your body break down and efficiently absorb protein.
  • Hemp Seeds offer an excellent source of essential fatty acids and protein to help balance hormones.
  • Spinach is a great source of crucial minerals like calcium, zinc and magnesium. It’s also packed full of vitamins and protein!
  • Cinnamon offers anti-inflammatory properties that aid in digestion and has been shown to potentially help lower blood pressure.

Not only does this smoothie taste delicious but I promise it’s going to make you feel like a champ.

And it might be frigid cold across the US right now but that’s no excuse to stop slurping your green smoothies. You might just have to wear sweatpants and wrap yourself in a blanket while you do it. Totally worth it. ;)
