The key ingredients for this plum smoothie are:

  1. Plums
  2. Orange
  3. Ginger root
  4. Unsweetened plain plant-based milk
  5. Ice

Some plums have white or yellow flesh, while others will be deep purple. Depending on the type of plum you use, your finished smoothie will either be light or deep pink color. Either way, it's delicious!

How to make this smoothie

Use a microplane grater to zest a half teaspoon of orange and set aside.

Add peeled orange, pitted plums, peeled, and roughly chopped fresh ginger root, ice, and plant-based milk to the blender. Blend all ingredients at high speed until smooth and creamy.

1. zest orange
2. add all ingredients to a blender
3. blend at high speed until smooth and creamy

Pour the blended smoothie mixture into individual glasses or mason jars. Top with fresh orange zest, and enjoy!

This plum smoothie is not only tasty, but it's a powerhouse of nutrients. Vitamin C-rich orange boosts energy and immunity. At the same time, the antioxidant-rich plum skin helps to lower inflammation and stop free radicals oxidative damage—the ginger aids in digestion and balances out the sweetness of the plum and orange. Using unsweetened almond milk (or other plain unsweetened plant-based milk) gives it a nice creaminess.

    Thanks Gigi for this amazing recipe. I've never ever thought to make a smoothie with plum. It was a delight to find plum in my grocery store in the winter. The ginger was easy to come by as I use it in most of my smoothies. The drink was surprisingly refreshing after my work out. You all got some amazing smoothies ideas.
