If you want to eat something that feels a little fancy, is packed with flavor AND nutrients, then this is a wonderful breakfast option. It's my new favorite, and it only take a minute to whip up. The ginger gives it a little 'kick' and the beets provide a good source of fiber, iron, potassium, and folate.
Ingredients:
1 cooked beet, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tbsp grated ginger
1/4 cup frozen pineapple
1/4 cup blueberries
1 cup coconut water
For the topping:
Small handful of fresh berries
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
1 tsp bee pollen
2 tsp cacao nibs
2 tsp black chia seeds
Instructions:
Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour smoothie into a bowl and top with all the goodies :)
I bought raw beets and steamed them myself, but to make it easier you can always buy pre-cooked beets. This is a Thrive Market recipe that is so easy to make your own-just by switching out certain toppings, or changing the ratio on the ingredients to adjust the flavor to your personal preference. I topped mine with fresh strawberries, and used a chia/flaxseed mix. If you try it, let me know what you think! Enjoy!
