Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small Beet (cooked and peeled)
- 1 cup Frozen blueberries
- 1 cup Frozen mango chunks
- 1 handful Baby spinach
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Stevia or honey (for sweetness)
Instructions
Cook the beet in advance by boiling or roasting it until tender. Let it cool completely, peel, and cut into small chunks.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cooked beet, frozen blueberries, frozen mango chunks, and baby spinach.
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, followed by the grated ginger and fresh lemon juice.
Add the ice cubes for a chilled texture. If you prefer your smoothie sweeter, add a teaspoon of stevia or honey.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender if needed.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses, garnish as desired (e.g., with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a slice of lemon), and serve immediately.
