One of my favorite smoothies to start my day. The combination of red beet, apple, ginger, and orange create an unforgettable taste! I'm 100% sure you'll absolutely love its flavor.
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach packed
- 1/2 red beet (raw) peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 apples cored and quartered
- 1/2 avocados
- 2 oranges peeled
- 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
- 1 lime or lemon juice only (use less if using lemon)
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (optional) optional
Blend spinach and water until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend again.
Top with superfoods - such as goji berries, chia seeds, cacao nibs or hemp hearts - if you like.
Recipe Notes
Use one or more frozen fruits to chill the smoothie.
If the smoothie is too thick for you, add more water to thin.
If you have a high-speed blender you can throw in everything at once.
Enjoy!

love beetroot even in smoothies - good recipe thanks
I love it as well. If only for the beautiful colors it creates!
Sounds great @amy-goodrich -- and Im sure it tastes AMAZING... Just watch out for those oranges (lots of acid). CHEERS!
It sure was! Everything in moderation. Although I have never had any issues with eating acidic fruits.
Looks really yummy! Check out our competition: https://steemit.com/foodchallenge/@givemeyoursteem/steemit-food-challenge-4-dinner-in-less-than-15-minutes-225-sbd-in-prize-money

Looks yummy! I'll have to try it sometime. Do you think swiss chard could be substituted for spinach?
You can substitute swiss chard for any leafy green you like. Enjoy!
