Zesty Lemon Ginger Smoothie with balanced full meal deal

Click on the links for nutritional information.

I did some research and came up with this smoothie specifically because I wanted to get some ginger in my diet. A little more lemon is a good thing too.
If you are new to my smoothies or really healthy eating, this is not one I would recommend trying first.

2 lemons (pealed)

1 ounce ginger root (washed with any bad parts removed)

1 orange yam or sweet potato (washed with any bad parts removed)

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats or barley

1 cup almond, soy, cashew, or dairy milk

1 scoop protein powder

1 tablespoon virgin organic coconut oil

1 cup water

Stevia or sucralose to taste

Ice

Blend well
