Smoothie Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple (260g)
- ½ cup cooked beets (80g)
- ½ cup cauliflower (60g), steamed then frozen
- 3 Tbsp collagen peptides
- ¾ cup canned coconut milk (or any milk)
- 1 Tbsp raw honey
- Juice from ½ a lime
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Ensure the pineapple is frozen, beets are cooked, and cauliflower has been steamed and frozen for optimal texture and temperature in the smoothie.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place frozen pineapple, cooked beets, frozen cauliflower, collagen peptides, coconut milk, raw honey, and lime juice into your blender container.
- Blend Smoothie: Start blending at a low speed to combine the ingredients gently, then gradually increase to high speed until the smoothie reaches a thick and consistent texture with an even blend of all components.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into two glasses and add your favorite toppings such as nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit, if desired. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Steaming and freezing the cauliflower beforehand ensures a smooth, cold texture without overpowering the flavor.
- If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add more coconut milk or water to adjust consistency.
- Raw honey can be substituted with maple syrup for a vegan option, but this recipe is not fully vegan due to collagen peptides.
- Feel free to add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost without altering taste significantly.
- Using canned coconut milk adds richness, but any milk alternative will work based on preference or dietary needs.
