Instructions
- Add the 1 red beet, ½ cup fresh cranberries, ½ cup frozen strawberries, ½ cup spinach, 1 ripe banana, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 to 1¼ cups coconut water, and 4-5 ice cubes to a high-powered blender.
- Blend 2-3 minutes, until completely processed and blended smooth.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Beet: Cut the raw beet into small cubes (½-inch or smaller) so it blends smoothly. Roasted or steamed beet also works and gives a slightly sweeter, milder flavor.
- Sweetness: Blend everything first, then taste before adding maple syrup. Depending on your banana and berries, you may not need any.
- Smoothie packs: Add everything except the coconut water and ice to a freezer bag. When ready, add to the blender with the coconut water and blend. You may not need the ice since everything is already frozen.
