What is this good for me?
Peaches have a good amount of vitamin C!
Oranges also give you vitamin C but they also contain fiber, potassium and choline. They support a healthy immune system and lower cholesterol.
Ginger helps with digestion, reduces nausea and help fight the flu and common cold.
Flaxseed has omega-3 fatty acid ALA, lignans and fiber, all of which have been shown to have many potential health benefits!
Overall this is a great smoothie to start your day with or to give you an evening boost of energy!
