Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw beet peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks provides natural sweetness and bromelain
- 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled
- 0.5 tsp ground turmeric or 1/2 inch fresh turmeric root
- 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut water or almond milk for creaminess
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for Omega-3 fatty acids
- 1 pinch black pepper essential to activate turmeric curcumin
Notes
To save time, use pre-cooked steamed beets found in the produce section. If you find the beet flavor too strong, add half a green apple. Store leftovers in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours, though separation is natural; shake well before drinking.
