Ingredients for our Beet Banana Deep Red Smoothie

Avocado – The key to making creamy smoothies is using perfectly ripen avocados.
Green Beans (lightly boiled) – I prep my green beans in advance and I always start with frozen green beans that I boil in water for about 2 minutes. After boiling them, I discard the water and let them cool down overnight in the fridge.
Broccoli (lightly boiled) – Same as with the green beans above, lightly boiled broccoli is a great way to add lots of nutrients to your smoothie.
Carrot – This orange baby is a nutritional powerhouse.
Cucumber – I like using fabio cucumber which is another plant that is “good-for-you”!
Red Beet (Beetroot) – Are you wondering where does our smoothie gets its deep red color? From using raw beets, where else!?
Banana – The best fried of avocado, banana will make your smoothie creamy and thick.
Celery stick – Smoothies are a great way to sneak in high nutrient plants like celery (use celery root or stalk, whichever works fine).
Fennel – Do you know what goes hand in hand with celery? Fennel does!
Cacao Butter – A wonderful aroma and lots of nutrients, especially if you are a cacao lover as we are.
Ginger powder – What a great way to add a lightly spicy taste (and more nutrients) to your smoothie, right?
Cinnamon powder – Cinnamon always adds a subtle fresh aroma to any smoothie (and desserts too).
Turmeric powder – Smoothies are a great way to sneak in some raw turmeric , and powder is great since it’s so easy to add it and your blender won’t strive to chop it.
Fenugreek powder – Not something that you would normally see in your average smoothie recipe … but why not?
Vanilla Extract – Use either liquid or powder as both work great. Stay away from fillers and added sweeteners by using pure vanilla extract or powder.
Lemon – I like using freshly squeezed lemon zest as a way to balance all those healthy fats but also for its antioxidant properties.
Himalayan Salt – A pinch of salt goes a long way and balances the taste of a smoothie is a very subtle way.
Dried Dates – In case you need more sweetness and/or more electrolytes, why not use something natural instead of traditional sweeteners.
Water – Use just enough water to cover the ingredients and a bit more to help your blender mix everything smoothly
