Beet and blood orange spice smoothie is a great Winter refresher that’s tasty and filling. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or hearty snack.
Ingredient
- 1 medium beet, peeled and diced
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 small blood orange, peeled and torn into segments
- ½ ripe banana, preferably frozen
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- big squeeze of lemon juice
- ice (optional)
Direction
- Only use a raw beet if you have a high speed blender like a Vitamix.
- I love freezing my segments of citrus for smoothies because it adds to the frothy texture.
- Other add-ins that are great for rounding this smoothie out nutritionally: 1 teaspoon of flax/chia seeds, a big handful of mild greens like baby spinach, or a scoop of vegan protein powder.
