Give us all the purple! Blueberries and beets make friends with banana and pear in this almond milk-based smoothie.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen blueberries
  • 1 ¼ cups almond milk
  • ⅓ cup beet , peeled and chopped
  • 1 ripe pear , cored and chopped
  • 1 banana
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 thin slices fresh ginger

Directions

  • Combine all ingredients in blender. Whirl until smooth. Garnish with pear slices or chopped almonds.

Tip:

Beets have gorgeous colour, but they stain! Serve this one in a covered container (glass is best) with a straw to save clothes (and couches).
