Spinach adds volume, fiber, and nutrients for almost no calories. Blended well, it disappears into the peaches, and all you notice is the fresh green color.
Hemp hearts contribute protein and healthy fats. Paired with the fiber from the fruit and greens, they help the smoothie keep you satisfied longer than a fruit-only drink.
Fresh ginger does not add much in the way of nutrition, but it makes the smoothie taste lively and less sweet. A drink that tastes balanced is one you are more likely to keep making.
It is also a friendly way to build a greens habit. Once you are used to a handful of spinach in your morning drink, it becomes second nature, and you can move on to kale or mixed greens without noticing much difference in taste.
A Few Notes on the Ingredients
Frozen peaches. Frozen peach slices are available all year and are picked ripe. When local peaches show up in early summer, slice and freeze your own.
Baby spinach. Baby spinach is mild and tender, which makes it perfect for smoothies. Keep a bag in the freezer so it never goes to waste.
Fresh ginger. You do not need to peel it for a smoothie; just scrub it and grate it or chop it roughly. Start with a small piece and add more if you like the heat.
Soy yogurt. Plain, unsweetened soy yogurt adds protein and a gentle tang that works nicely with the peaches.
