Balsamic Roasted Berry Smoothie (Vegan)
The Balsamic Roasted Berry Smoothie blends roasted mixed berries with balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, banana, and orange juice for a flavorful, vegan beverage. Roasting the berries concentrates their juices and slightly deepens their flavor, which pairs with the balsamic’s tanginess and the natural sweetness of banana and maple syrup. This smoothie is chilled and smooth, making it refreshing and nutritious.

- Roast for about 20 minutes, turning half way through, until the juices are bubbling and the berries start to turn darker.
- Then remove the berries from the oven and allow to cool.
- When cool, transfer the roasted berries and their juices along with all the other ingredients, including extra maple syrup if desired, into a blender and whizz until well combined.
