1 cup unsweetened almond milk
6 ounces plain Greek yogurt
3 ounces orange juice, frozen into ice cubes
1/2" cube of fresh ginger
2 Tablespoons flax seeds, ground
2 Tablespoons agave
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 pinches nutmeg

Makes 4 servings (10 ounces)

Directions
  • Add all ingredients, except ice cubes, to the blender.
  • Blend, adding a few ice cubes at a time.
  • Top with a dollop of yogurt and a dash of nutmeg.
