Vibrant Mango Beet Smoothie

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups frozen mango

  • 3/4 cup frozen raspberries (or sub-mixed berries)

  • 1/2 cup steamed and frozen beet* (or sub more carrot)

  • 1 small carrot, chopped (1 small carrot yields ~1/4 cup)

  • 1 (1-2 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeling optional

  • 1 large handful of fresh spinach

  • 2 Tbsp lime juice (1 small lime yields ~2 Tbsp or 30 ml)

  • 6-7 leaves of fresh mint

  • 1-2 cups water (or sub-coconut water for sweetness and electrolytes)

Instructions:

  • Add all ingredients (starting with the lesser amount of water) to a high-speed blender and blend on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed. If it has trouble blending, add more water.

  • Taste and adjust as needed, adding more mango for sweetness or lime juice for brightness!

  • Best when fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, or frozen into ice cubes or popsicle molds, and stored in the freezer for 1 month.
