“Morning Glory” Tropical Detox Smoothie
This vibrant tropical detox smoothie is the perfect energy boost for busy moms or a tasty way to sneak a little extra nutrition in your kids’ day.
Finding a smoothie that’s healthy and tastes good is like discovering untouched hardwood under some ugly carpet. But we think we’ve done it with this Morning Glory Smoothie is a healthy peach smoothie packed with nutrition.
I originally was mixing up this morning glory smoothie for myself – I wanted to find some more ways to incorporate tumeric and poppyseeds into my diet for their amazing health properties. But after I finished pureeing my first batch, my daughter asked for a sip and immediately commandeered this smoothie for herself.
Turmeric offers anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neural-boosting properties. It’s the yellow spice often seen in Indian coconut curries.
Chia seeds have several beneficial components including omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, calcium, and are a great source of protein and fiber.
The wide variety of delicious ingredients kind of reminded me of all of the ingredients that go into morning glory muffins, plus enjoying all these health benefits is a glorious way to start your morning! (And it kind of reminds me of the Oasis song…)
I like adding the ice to ensure that we get a bit more water in the mornings since I have no problem getting my daughter to drink her smoothie but getting her to drink water when it’s not her idea is a bit more tricky. You can leave it out and instead use frozen peaches if you’d prefer.
