Zesty Lemon and Garlic Smoothie

This zesty lemon and garlic smoothie is a refreshing and flavorful way to start your day. The combination of lemon, garlic, and ginger gives it a bright and tangy flavor, while the spinach and turmeric add a boost of nutrients. It's a great way to get your daily dose of fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover roasted garlic. I had been roasting a whole head of garlic for another recipe, and I had a few cloves left over. I didn't want to waste them, so I decided to add them to my smoothie. I was surprised at how well the garlic worked in the smoothie. It gave it a really nice depth of flavor. I also added some lemon juice and ginger to brighten up the flavor, and some spinach and turmeric for a boost of nutrients. The result was a delicious and healthy smoothie that I've been enjoying ever since.
