This tasty Citrus Blaster smoothie is perfect when you need a burst of healing goodness. This smoothie is packed with all the citrus, ginger, and sweet bananas.

The beginning of the year, John and I love to start fresh with our diets. We love to enjoy fresh smoothies for breakfast. The best smoothies are loaded with vitamins and minerals. They are incredibly versatile and flexible, a smoothie for breakfast is the perfect start to the day!

Some may wonder how you can be full from smoothies, it’s just a drink – right?!

Eh – I guess technically, yes! However, if you are packing your smoothies with tons of fruit and a few scoops of powder, you will be feeling energized for hours!

This recipe in particular, we pack with citrus, giving you a healthy dose of vitamin C. The extra boost can help ward off any icky germs too!

The bananas bulk up the drink, giving it some density. Bananas were not only the first named “Superfood” by the American Medical Association, but are also can add additional positive calories to blended drinks. Adding an extra banana or two to you morning drink will help keep you full longer!

I don’t even need to tell you about the ginger! So many different benefits of adding more ginger to your diet. From aiding with indigestion, to treating nausea, ginger is KEY to starting your day right. While the flavor can be strong to some, the addition of the ripe bananas really mellows the spice.

Smoothies can be made in bulk and frozen in serving mason jars – make them once a week always be ready!
