Mild and sweet at first, with a green note and a warm ginger kick at the end.
Ginger is a rhizome with a sharp, warming flavour that comes from compounds such as gingerol. A small piece is enough to give a smoothie noticeable spice. Here it balances the sweetness of banana and the mild green taste of baby spinach. Banana provides potassium and body, spinach folate and vitamin K.
Because fresh ginger varies in strength, start small and add more after tasting. A bright, invigorating glass for the morning.
With a small piece, only mildly; adjust to taste.
Yes, a small pinch, although fresh tastes brighter.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
