I personally hate smoothies (I know I'm weird) but apparently my Mom used to make her neighbor this when she was ku. My sister sent me this recipe last night to try for my rolling stomach (too bad I'm not a fan). Thought one of you may benefit.
1 1/2 cups diced pears
1/2 cup low-fat peach yogurt
1/2 cup pear nector
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
3-5 ice cubes
Also, FYI, you can buy small jars of minced ginger (similar to minced garlic) if you hunt around your grocery store in the produce area usually. I already have some for cooking. Meijer also seems to have some fresh minced/grated herbs in a tube, and ginger is often one of them.
Re: smoothie recipe
I am not a big fan of smoothies either, and personally it doesn't sound too appetizing to me
Maybe someone here will use it and see if it helps. Thanks for sharing
