Raspberry Zinger Cottage Cheese Smoothie
The “zing” part of this raspberry smoothie comes from the addition of fresh ginger. Ginger is known for anti-nausea effects (think of ginger ale to settle an upset stomach) but it also has powerful anti-inflammatory effects. With a spicy flavor, it pairs well with both sweet and savory dishes. Raspberries yield a beautiful pink color but other berries or even pineapple would blend well with the ginger.
Pour smoothie into popsicle molds and freeze for a delicious and healthy snack!
