Rachael DeVaux’s Blueberry-Ginger Smoothie
When you want a smoothie that will help you power through a busy morning, try this nutrition-packed one from Rachael DeVaux, a registered dietician and personal trainer who shares creative ideas for healthy eating on her blog Rachael’s Good Eats. To be prepared for an on-the-go meal any morning of the week, keep a bag of frozen blueberries, a hunk of fresh ginger and steamed cauliflower in your freezer. To streamline the process, you can buy frozen cauliflower, steam it according to the package instructions, then return the cooked cauliflower to the freezer so you always have it on hand.
