What goes into Healthy Superfood Smoothie

This delicious pink smoothie is certainly different compared to your average smoothie. It all starts with great ingredients!

This superfood smoothie comes packed with lots of nutrients from using an assortment of plants such as macadamia nuts, vegetables and berries. The combination of these healthy ingredients makes for a smoothie that is packed with good fats, low in carbs (but still sweet and refreshing) and perfect to engage your metabolism in a healthy way.

These are the ingredients that go into our superfood pink smoothie:

• Macadamia Nuts – you’ll get to make your own macadamia milk and you’ll be using about 100 ml of macadamia milk as the base for this smoothie
• Broccoli (frozen) – rich in vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants (for a refreshing blend use frozen broccoli)
• Beetroot – another nutrient powerhouse and perfect to use in smoothies where you’ll get to consume it raw
• Kapia or Bell Pepper – comes with plenty of vitamin C and vitamin B6
• Fennel – rich in vitamin C, magnesium, iron and calcium, fennel has a sweet refreshing taste that incorporates perfectly in smoothies
• Avocado – packed with healthy fats, potassium, magnesium, as well as other micronutrients, and perfect for making a creamy smoothie
• Extra Virgin Coconut Oil – very good source of healthy fats, also helps with blending a creamy smoothie
• Cacao Butter – great source of healthy fats derived from cacao beans
• Pointed Cabbage – leafy greens are packed with vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, just to name a few nutrients that pointed cabbage delivers
• Sea Buckthorn (frozen) – a special type of wild berry, sea buckthorn is a potent source of vitamins (especially vitamin C), as well as omega-3-6-7-9 fatty acids, plus lots of different phytonutrients
• Cranberries (frozen) – these small red berries are related to sea buckthorn and also provide similar nutrients and health benefits
• Ginger Powder – alternatively you can use a bit of fresh ginger
• Fenugreek Powder – optional, skip if not available
• Pomegranate Powder – optional, skip if not available
• Dandelion Powder – optional, skip if not available
• Raw Cacao Powder – for best aroma and high level of phytonutrients, use raw cacao from fairtrade sources
• Dates – we use dates for adding a bit of natural sweetness on top of those sour-ish berries
• Water – we use water for making the macadamia milk and for the smoothie recipe itself (see recipe card for details)

Homemade macadamia milk recipe

In order to make your own macadamia milk, you’ll need 3 things:

• Macadamia Nuts (without shells)
• Water (always use pure spring water)
• Blender or Kitchen Robot (high power)

This is my simple recipe for making homemade macadamia milk:

1. Start by using 200 ml water for every 100 grams of raw macadamia nuts. You can add more water later, if needed.
2. Add macadamia nuts into the blender. Next, add the water required, based on my instructions above.
3. Blend on medium to high speed until mixture seems well combined. You’ll know the macadamia milk is ready when the blender contents will turn white.
   Note: Macadamia milk should look something like “regular milk” but with a very thick texture due to the pulp from the macadamia nuts.
4. You can use the nut milk as is (with pulp) or you can strain it, separating the pulp from the liquid. Save the pulp for baked goods or add it to raw desserts.
5. Congratulations! You’ve just made your own macadamia milk.
