This shake is perfectly suited to help transition as we finish up summer. Nectarines are given a warming kick with fresh ginger and nutmeg. These two spices add in an immunity boost and digestive aid. Blend it up with some Daily Shake and enjoy any time of the day.
Serves: 2
Prep time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
2 large ripe nectarines, roughly chopped
8 ounces coconut water
4 ice cubes
¼ cup hemp seed
1 whole nutmeg
1 inch chunk of ginger
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons coconut palm sugar (optional)
Directions:
Slice the nectarines, remove the pit and chop roughly. Place in a high speed blender along with the coconut water, ice and hemp seeds.
