Apple Carrot Beet Smoothie
Description
Apple Carrot Beet Smoothie mixes raw medium beet pieces with crisp apple chunks and trimmed carrots along with fresh ginger and freshly squeezed orange juice, all blended with cold water. The combination balances earthy beets and sweet fruit with the slight spice of ginger and citrus brightness from the orange juice, creating a refreshing smoothie with a robust vegetable presence.
The ingredients are blended until smooth using a high-powered blender, typically 1-2 minutes. The smoothie is thick and vibrant, reflecting the natural colors of the produce. Chilling is optional but refreshing.
This smoothie serves well as a morning or midday nutrient boost, providing fiber and vitamins. It can be sipped plain or paired with light snacks.
Before cutting beets, protecting the cutting board with parchment prevents staining. The smoothie’s juice may separate if left standing, so stir or shake well before drinking.

- 1 apple any variety, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 3 carrot ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch chunks

Instructions
- Place all ingredients in the pitcher of a high-powered blender, and blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Use the tamper if needed.

Notes
- Place parchment paper under the cutting board when working with beets to avoid staining.
- Juice may separate upon sitting; stir or shake smoothie before consuming to recombine.
