Ingredients
Fruits and Vegetables
- 2 cups frozen pineapple (260g)
- ½ cup cooked beets (80g)
- ½ cup cauliflower, steamed then frozen (60g)
Other Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp collagen peptides
- ¾ cup canned coconut milk (or any milk)
- 1 Tbsp raw honey
- Juice from ½ a lime
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure the beets are cooked and the cauliflower is steamed and frozen before starting the smoothie.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen pineapple, cooked beets, steamed cauliflower, collagen peptides, coconut milk, raw honey, and lime juice into your blender.
- Blend Smoothie: Begin blending at a low speed, gradually increasing to high speed until the mixture achieves a thick, smooth, and consistent texture without lumps.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses, optionally add your favorite toppings such as seeds or shredded coconut, and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Steaming the cauliflower before freezing softens it and helps achieve a creamy texture in the smoothie.
- Collagen peptides add protein and support skin health but can be omitted or replaced with protein powder if desired.
- Raw honey adds natural sweetness but can be adjusted to taste or substituted with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Use fresh lime juice for a bright, tangy flavor that balances the sweetness of the pineapple and honey.
- For a thinner smoothie, add more milk or water as needed.
