Fruit smoothies are great…and smoothies with fresh ginger are even better! Try this combination for a glass of morning zing:

1 peach, cut into rough chunks
juice of 1 orange or 3-4 clementines
about 1″ of fresh ginger root, peeled

Put the peach chunks and orange juice into the blender, then use a garlic press to squeeze the juice out of the ginger root. (You may have to cut into smaller pieces first.) Whirl until you have your desired texture, adding more juice if necessary. Garnish with an extra wedge of orange or a mint leaf.

Enjoy!

(Note: if you want to impress a dinner guest, add a shot of vodka to the mix and serve this lush treat as a cocktail.)
