5. Metabolism Boosting Morning Green Smoothie
Ginger is a natural vasodilator, meaning it helps the blood circulate more easily and promotes a healthy metabolism. Green tea has an antioxidant known as epigallocatechin (EGCG) that also boosts the metabolism.
Both of these ingredients are in this fat-burning breakfast smoothie, along with pineapple and avocado.

- 3 ice cubes
- 1 cup green tea

- 2 cups stemmed and chopped spinach or kale
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, unpeeled, cored and chopped
- ½ cup of 100% juice, like pomegranate juice OR ¼ cup frozen pineapple tidbits
- ¼ avocado, chopped
- ¼ cup frozen pineapple tidbits
- ½-inch fresh ginger
DIRECTIONS:
Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
