- 1/2 jar macadamia milk (100-125 ml, see recipe in the post above or the Instructions section)
- 2 avocado (skinned and seeded)
- 1/2 grapefruit (no skin)
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 3 leaves kale
- 2 stalks fennel
- 5 cm leeks
- 5 tbsp frozen cranberries
- 2 carrots
- 200 g frozen broccoli
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 red beet (peeled and cut big)
- 2 slices lemon (skin included, organic)
- 1 tbsp wheatgrass powder
- 1 tbsp raw cacao

- 1 tsp dried parsley

Instructions
Macadamia Milk
- Start by preparing the macadamia milk: add macadamia nuts into the blender, followed by adding the water required for making the nut milk.Note: Use 200 ml of water for every 100 g of macadamia nuts.
- Blend on medium to high speed until all the macadamia nuts have been transformed into milk. You’ll know the macadamia milk is ready when the blender contents will turn white.
- You can use the macadamia milk as is (with pulp) or you can strain it, separating the pulp from the liquid. Save the pulp for baked or raw low-carb desserts.
Smoothie
- Wash and prep all the ingredients, remove skin, seeds and cut into pieces as needed.
- Add all ingredients into the blender (on top of the macadamia milk), followed by adding the water required for making the smoothie.
- Blend everything on medium to high speed until you obtain the desired consistency.
- Serve fresh or store this smoothie in the fridge for maximum of 2 days.
Notes
- Color: light brown
- Texture: very thick and creamy, actually too thick
- Taste: slightly bitter (in a good sense) from all the cranberries and grapefruit used
Due to using freshly-made macadamia milk, this smoothie must be stored in a refrigerator at all times, making sure to consume it in max 2 days. For this recipe you’ll be using lemon with skin. Make sure to use an organically grown lemon or, in case of using a non-organic lemon, remove skin prior to using in smoothie. Conventionally grown citrus fruits may be sprayed with pesticides that remain in the skin even after washing.
