How to Make Morning Smoothie with a Kick
- Put all the fruit, vegetables, water, Truvia (or other sweetener) and ginger in a Vitamix blender. If you don't have one, you can use a regular blender, but it won't be as smooth.
- Blend on the smoothie setting, or until smooth.
- Add frozen black coffee and blend until smooth.
- Serve cold. Garnish with an orange slice.
