Ginger Peach Breakfast Smoothie

This Ginger Peach Breakfast Smoothie is a great way to start your day! It’s healthy, refreshing, and perfect for those who are trying to reduce their sugar intake. Ginger and peach go so well together—the ginger adds spice and the peaches add sweetness. Ginger also helps balance out blood sugar levels for people with diabetes or hypoglycemia.

One of my favourite things about this smoothie is that it has no added sugars because there are plenty of natural sugars from the fruit!

How does the layer of the ingredients affect the smoothie texture?

No matter what type of blender you are using, it’s best to add the liquid first. If you are using a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, you should place the more solid ingredients like ice, frozen fruits, vegetables and whole fruits on the bottom and then add any softer greens, nut butter or liquid in the blender.

For a regular blender that’s not as strong, you can start by adding the liquid first then add in the tougher ingredients. Then add soft fruits and powders until it’s a smooth puree.

You can also try to start with 1 cup max of ice before adding more if necessary to get a thicker consistency.

Can you use normal beets?

This recipe calls for a golden beet because the colouring works well with the other ingredients. However, a red beet will work just as well, but it will change the presentation completely.  In other words, your drink will get a red colour makeover!

Recipe tips

If you want to change the recipe to a more of a fruit smoothie, add banana and Greek yoghurt in place of the celery and cucumber.  You could try some coconut water in the mixture if it is too thick or make it into a smoothie bowl instead.

If you feel the smoothie needs a little sweetening, either add some honey or use your favourite sweetener.  Add a little at a time and give a pulse with the blender in between to mix thoroughly.

You can also use fresh peaches if you prefer.  Grab a nice ripe peach, remove the stone and add to the mixture.
