Jerusalem Artichoke Green Smoothie
This refreshing green smoothie harnesses the prebiotic power of Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes) blended with tropical fruit and leafy greens for a creamy, gut-healthy breakfast boost. The subtle nutty flavor of the sunchokes pairs perfectly with zesty ginger and sweet pineapple.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Jerusalem artichokes scrubbed clean and roughly chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach tightly packed
- 1.5 cups frozen pineapple chunks provides natural sweetness and chill
- 1 medium banana ripe, for creaminess
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 1 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3s
- 1 tsp lemon juice freshly squeezed to brighten flavors
Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately for maximum nutrient density, but can be stored in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours (shake well before drinking). Make-Ahead: You can prep the sunchokes and spinach in a freezer bag ahead of time. Note: Jerusalem artichokes are high in inulin; if you are not used to high-fiber foods, start with 1/4 cup to allow your digestive system to adjust.
