Vanilla Strawberry Beet Smoothie
Eating healthy doesn’t always taste the best, but combining your favorite treats with nutritious foods is the perfect balance! Though strawberries and beets may not seem like a good mix, combined with vanilla and cinnamon, they create a smoothie that’s not only healthy, but tastes delicious as well.
The following is an excerpt from The Grain-Free, Sugar-Free, Dairy-Free Family Cookbook by Leah Webb. It has been adapted for the web.
“Beets and strawberries?!” Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it! The powerful liver-detoxifying properties of raw beets are subtly paired with refreshing strawberries and hints of vanilla. The high antioxidant content of this deep red smoothie will get a big thank-you from your body’s detoxifying mechanisms. It’s one of my favorites, given its rich color and powerful health benefits. Try subbing the strawberries with frozen dark sweet cherries and blueberries for a sweeter, darker smoothie.
Ingredients
For 2 smoothies
2 large handfuls spinach
2 small beets, peeled and roughly chopped
2 cups (130 g) frozen strawberries
2 tablespoons hemp hearts
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash of cinnamon
2 cups (475 ml) water
