Oranges aren’t just a delicious fruit—they are packed with vitamin C and fiber, both of which are essential for your body, especially during the fall season when illnesses are most common. Ginger has a positive effect on the digestive tract and helps cleanse the body. It's well known that nearly 80% of the immune system is housed in the gut, which is why ginger should be a more regular part of your daily diet. And when you add in the healthy fats from avocado, combined with green leafy lettuce, you get a true vitamin bomb. What makes this smoothie different from other vitamin mixes is that the ingredients increase your body’s absorption capacity by over 70%. Simply eating vitamins isn’t enough if your body can’t absorb them, and most vitamins need fats—healthy fats—to be properly absorbed.

How to make the vitamin bomb?

Ingredients:

• 1 peeled orange (leave as much white pith on as possible)
• 1 to 2 centimeters of grated ginger
• 1/4 of an avocado
• 2 cups of lettuce, chopped into small pieces
• 1 cup of milk, almond or coconut, or kefir

Preparation:

There’s only one thing you need to keep in mind while preparing this: speed. Put all the ingredients in a blender and mix until you get a smooth, homogeneous blend. You need to drink the smoothie immediately because every minute that passes, the nutritional value decreases by 1% due to oxidation. If you can’t drink it all at once or want to make enough for later, store the smoothie in an airtight container to minimize air exposure.
