What goes into the Power-Up Red Smoothie

This red smoothie recipe will power-up your day, while being sugar-free and low in carbs. It’s easy to make, creamy, a bit sweet and you’ll be using only real plants that come with unprocessed nutrients in order to make it.

These are the ingredients that go into this delicious power-up red smoothie:

• Avocado – nutrient dense and creamy, avocado helps obtain a creamy and well-mixed smoothie
• Apple – lots of nutrients in a low-carb fruit that one should consume daily
• Bell Pepper – packed with vitamin C but also other vitamins and micronutrients (especially antioxidants)
• Beetroot – a nutritional powerhouse, should always be added raw in smoothies for maximum nutrients
• Pomegranate Seeds – comes with all kinds of beneficial nutrients, make sure to use a ripen pomegranate and to carefully remove seeds
• Chia Seeds – packed with fatty acids, fiber, some protein and other nutrients like vitamins and minerals
• Hemp Seeds – healthy fats and good source of protein, plus a good source of minerals and vitamins
• Celery (stick) – good source of different micronutrients, tastes and blends perfectly in smoothies
• Whey Protein – for vegans, replace with vegan protein powder like pea protein or hemp protein
• Extra Virgin Coconut Oil – helps with the creamy texture of our smoothie, also provides lots of beneficial fats and sustains burning fat for energy instead of carbs
• Lemon (slice) – just a bit of lemon goes a long way in smoothie, use organic otherwise remove skin
• Boosters – Ginger Powder, Turmeric Powder, Cinnamon Powder, Cardamom Powder
• Himalayan Salt – just a pinch will do
• Water – use plain water

Make this smoothie yours

Pro Tip: This recipe asks for whey protein powder which is derived from milk, and this means that our recipe is vegetarian. In case you want to make this smoothie vegan, simply use pea protein powder or hemp protein powder instead. Feel free to skip the protein powder in case you don’t need the additional protein boost and this won’t affect the taste or texture of this smoothie too much.
