Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup packed spinach
  • 10 frozen dark sweet cherries
  • 1 - 2 roasted beets (*see notes for instructions on roasting*)
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 4 - 5 ice cubes (if desired)

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine the coconut milk, orange juice, and spinach. Blend until smooth. Add the cherries, beets, and banana and blend again.
  • If you like your smoothies a little frostier, feel free to blend in a couple ice cubes. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for 1-2 days. Shake well before serving!

Notes

  • To easily roast beets, peel the beets then lightly brush them with coconut oil. Wrap larger beets individually in foil, or group smaller beets in twos or threes. Roast at 400 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until tender. Cooked beets will store in the fridge for 5 days, or quarter and freeze them for smoothies!
