Summer Beet and Superfood Smoothie
I have been on a juicing kick. Adding the fresh beet and cucumber to this smoothie gives it a “juice” feel without the clean-up of a juicer. It’s perfect for a Sunday morning pre-brunch meal or post-workout. This smoothie also makes delicious popsicles. Simply freeze in a popsicle mold overnight.

Ingredients:
(
Makes 1-2 smoothies)
1 1/2 cups plant based milk, like almond milk
1 scoop superfood collagen powder
1/4 cup medium diced raw Chioggia (striped) or red beet
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 –1 inch slice fresh ginger or 1 tsp. dry
1/3 cup medium diced cucumber
2 Tbs. freshly squeezed lemon juice
4–5 ice cubes, garnish, optional
Instructions:
Blend in a high-speed blender. Start on low for 15 seconds, and then blend on high for 30 seconds or until smooth. For a thicker smoothie, add less milk. You can add more ginger if you like it spicy. I prefer a 1-inch slice of fresh ginger. Want it extra cold? Serve it over ice.
Chef Carla Notes:
- If you don’t have a high-speed blender, chop the beet extra fine and or use a cooked beet.

This is the perfect drink for a hot summer day. If you are in the north east, like me you know these days are numbered, the leaves are already falling! It’s inspired by the Venezuelan drink, Tizana, which is made with chopped fruit and grenadine and can be spiked.
