AIP Friendly Blueberry-Ginger Green Smoothie
This vibrant smoothie is rich, creamy, and packed with ingredients that feel genuinely nourishing — the kind of thing you actually look forward to drinking in the morning. Full-fat coconut milk gives it a luscious, almost milkshake-like body, while frozen blueberries pull the color into a stunning deep purple-green that looks as good as it tastes. Fresh ginger adds a bright, warming kick, and a squeeze of lemon juice keeps everything lively and balanced. Baby spinach blends in completely after a full minute on high speed, so you get all the goodness without any leafy texture or grassy flavor getting in the way. For anyone navigating the autoimmune protocol, smoothies can be a minefield of off-limits protein powders, dairy bases, and seed-heavy add-ins — this one sidesteps all of that with a short, clean ingredient list. A touch of honey rounds out the natural tartness of the berries, and optional turmeric makes it feel even more intentional without tipping into medicinal territory. It makes two generous servings, so it's an easy weekday breakfast for two or a great way to meal-prep your mornings.
