The Banana Beet Smoothie with Golden Beets is just breathtaking in terms of the amount of antioxidants and fibre that it contains.
– 2 bananas frozen– 1 medium sized golden beet– ¼ cup rolled oats optional– 1 cup unsweetened almond milk– 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk– ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract– Pinch cinnamon optional
Ingredient
1
Peel, halves, and freeze bananas in a zip-lock bag until frozen. Clean, peel, and cut beets in half.
Direction
2
Boil a small saucepan of water. Add the beetroot to the boiling water and cook for 20–25 minutes until fork-tender.
3
Drain and chill the beetroot after cooking. When cool enough to handle, chop the beetroot and freeze it for at least 2 hours in tupperware.
4
Blend all ingredients until smooth in a blender. I like my smoothies thick, but add almond or coconut milk as needed.
