Hot Pink Beet Smoothie with Citrus Made Stepwise
- Start by peeling and chopping your beet into small pieces to help it blend more easily.
- Peel the clementine or tangerine and separate it into segments. Wash fresh berries thoroughly and remove any stems.
- In your blender, combine the chopped beet, clementine segments, red berries, frozen banana, almond butter, chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Blend the mixture on high until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Add more almond milk if it’s too thick.
- Taste your smoothie and adjust the sweetness or flavors as needed by adding more almond butter or citrus.
- Pour your Hot Pink Beet Smoothie with Citrus into a glass and enjoy immediately. Garnish with extra berries or chia seeds if desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; color may fade but flavor remains great.
- Freeze individual portions for convenient smoothie prep; blend with extra milk when ready to serve.
- Substitute almond butter with peanut or sunflower seed butter to accommodate allergies or preferences.
- Add greens like spinach or kale to boost nutrition without changing flavor significantly.
- Use any plant-based milk you prefer, such as oat or coconut milk, for different flavor profiles.
