This is a red smoothie to remember for all those days when you feel stressed and you need a sweet relief. You can serve this smoothie when you feel a bit tired in the middle of the day, or when you need a heathy boost of plant-based energy.
Reasons to remember this red smoothie
This red smoothie is creamy and thick, but also sweet, spicy and salty, all in the same time. It also comes packed with lots of beneficial nutrients that will help you stay energized in a natural way.
This smoothie is perfect for all those cold spring days when the sun starts to shine, but the weather outside is still a bit chilly. It’s also for all those rainy days when you have to go out and make things happen.
This red smoothie is definitely one that will transform your day into a wonderfully energized day. For special situations get 2 glasses and don’t look back!
Delicious and healthy red smoothie
I absolutely love this red smoothie because it’s packed with plant-based nutrients and very easy to drink, even though it turned out thicker than my usual smoothies. It’s pleasant for the taste buds and, as you slowly start to sip, this smoothie delivers a special aroma that nourishes you from the inside out. You sort of feel all those nutrients being absorbed into your system and that feels wonderful.
More reasons why this smoothie is special:
- it’s totally plant-based and natural
- it’s loaded with healthy fats – from avocado and coconut oil
- has some carbs but not too many – most carbs come from banana
- and some proteins from all those vegetables
- it’s loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, that will benefit your system in many ways
- and lots of gut-friendly fiber and digestive enzymes too
- it’s sweet, with a spicy-salty twist (you’ll see what I mean …)
Go for it and don’t look back! If you decide to blend this red smoothie, be sure to let me know how it turned out for you and if you liked it. I would love if you could post a 5-star rating and maybe a review.

A Red Smoothie To Remember
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 avocado (peeled and seeded)
- 3 carrots (sliced)
- 1 tomato (cut in half)
- 1 yellow bell pepper (chopped)
- 1 red beet (chopped big)
- 200 g frozen broccoli
- 1/4 fennel (chopped small)
- 2 small bananas (peeled and sliced)
- 1.5 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil
- 5 tsp sea buckthorn
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/2 tsp fenugreek powder
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 1 tbsp wheatgrass powder
- 1 big slice lemon (organic, cut in 4)
- 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
- 600 ml water
Instructions
- Add everything into your blender, including water.
- Blend on medium to high speed until everything looks smooth and creamy.
- Serve fresh or store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Notes
- Color: beautiful saturated red
- Texture: kind of thick, more like a puree but still a great smoothie overall
- Taste: sweet with a salty and spicy twist to it
Keep the skin on the lemon only if your lemon is organically grown, otherwise remove the skin prior to adding those lemon slices into your smoothie. The skin of conventionally grown citrus fruits may have chemical residues that could harm your health. Use a small tsp when adding salt, the last thing you want is to have a salty smoothie. Another option would be to add 1/3 tsp of salt (instead of 1/2 tsp) and taste your smoothie to see how “salty” it is.
