You know that whole hatred of airports thing I told you about, and how Jamba Juice is their one saving grace?

Well, my affection for this smoothie shop has grown even greater recently with the addition of their green smoothie line. No longer just fruit, they also pack a vegetable punch (ftw)!

My absolute favorite green smoothie at the moment is their ‘Greens and Ginger’ smoothie. You guys, I’m straight up addicted.

I think you know where this is going. Let’s make a smoothie!

This smoothie is a 1-blender situation, requiring only 5 minutes and 5 ingredients to prepare!

Because peaches are out of season here in Oregon, I relied on organic frozen fruit. It’s not quite as good as the fresh, in-season stuff, but I simply couldn’t wait, and it was enough to satisfy my cravings for this insanely delicious smoothie.

As soon as summer gets here, though, I intend to buy up all the peaches I see and freeze them for future smoothie bliss. I am not kidding – all the peaches.

What you need to know about this smoothie: It’s

Smooth, but not overly creamy

Perfectly tart

Not too sweet

Loaded with greens, but masks their flavor well

Gingery

Fruity

Healthy

Delicious

The old me craved smoothies that tasted like a peanut butter milkshake, or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But these days, I find myself gravitating toward gingery, tart green smoothies with only a little sweetness. Call me mature, why don’t you. OK seriously, I’m waiting though…

If you try this smoothie, it would make me oh-so happy. Let us know what you think if you do! Leave a comment, rate it, and don’t forget to take a picture and tag it #minimalistbaker on Instagram so we can be smoothie buddies. Cheers, friends!
