Love summer time and the freshness of produce in our grocery stores. I try to buy organic as much as I can and love how easier it has become to find organic in local regular markets as well as health food stores!
This morning I picked up some beets along with the greens. I just had a craving for some beet juice in my smoothy this morning. I love beets they are sweet and earthy tasting to me and they add so much colour to anything you add them in to.
Initially I thought of juicing the beets and the greens but then I had second thoughts. I would use the beets themselves in a beet hummus or add them to my salad and just use the stems for juice. Feeling a bit lazy to juice I decided to whip my morning drink in my vitamix instead and take advantage of all that goodness in the entire stem instead of just the juice!
Here is my Pretty & Pink Beet Pineapple Smoothy Recipe
2 cup fresh pineapple
1 cup fresh beet stocks cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup water
1 tbsp hemp seeds
Ice (as much as you like)
Place all ingredients in a vitamix and blend till smooth.
Pour into a nice long glass and enjoy!
If you want a refreshing drink instead of a smoothy, place all ingredients into a juicer (except the ice and hemp seeds), juice and ice and enjoy as a cocktail style drink!
Namaste
