- 2 plums pitted
- 1 orange peeled
- 1- to-2-inch piece of fresh ginger peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 cup unsweetened plain plant-based milk I used almond milk, but any will work
- Ice
- Optional: 1 Tbsp Simple Homemade Date Syrup for added sweetness
Instructions
- Zest a half teaspoon of orange zest 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.
- Pour the blended smoothie mixture into individual glasses or mason jars. Top with fresh orange zest, and enjoy!
Notes
- For a protein boost, use unsweetened soy milk or add a tablespoon of hemp seeds.
- Prepared smoothies keep well in the fridge for 24 hours. Shake and enjoy.
- If you're meal prepping this smoothie beyond one day, add chopped plum, orange, and ginger to a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to enjoy, pull out the bag and add it to a high speed blender with plant-based milk. Blend and enjoy!
