Purple Power Detox Smoothie
Description
The Purple Power Detox Smoothie mixes frozen blueberries and banana with raw beet, kale, and coconut milk to produce a vibrant, nutrient-dense smoothie. The beet adds an earthy sweetness and bright hue, while kale supplies greens and fiber. The banana gives a creamy texture and natural sweetness. Coconut milk provides a smooth, dairy-free liquid base, and orange juice adds a citrus brightness. Optional add-ins like green apple or spinach offer flavor variations, and flax or chia seeds boost fiber content.
This smoothie is prepared by simply blending the ingredients until smooth, with adjustments to liquids or ice depending on the use of fresh or frozen fruit. It is suitable for a fresh snack or breakfast drink, supporting dietary variety with fruits and vegetables in a convenient form.
The recipe does not specify added sweeteners but allows flexibility to add fruit or syrup if a sweeter taste is desired.
Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries frozen
- ½ beet or 1 small/medium beet, large
- 1 banana fresh or frozen - add extra liquid if frozen, ripe

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

Instructions
- Get Blending!
- Cook up some beets for a salad or side dish and then set a few slices aside for this smoothie!
- To make this bad boy, toss everything in the blender and let it do the work for you.
- Adjust the liquids and even add ice if needed, it'll just depend on your ratio of frozen ingredients to fresh.
- I always start with the recipe above and then just tweak as needed!
- While I don't typically sweeten my smoothies, feel free to sweeten with extra fruit, juice, or agave syrup if desired. Anything goes; empty that crisper and enjoy!
