  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • big squeeze of lemon juice
  • ice (optional)

Recipe Notes

  • Only use a raw beet if you have a high speed blender like a Vitamix.
  • I love freezing my segments of citrus for smoothies because it adds to the frothy texture.
  • Other add-ins that are great for rounding this smoothie out nutritionally: 1 teaspoon of flax/chia seeds, a big handful of mild greens like baby spinach, or a scoop of vegan protein powder.
Beet and blood orange spice smoothie is a great Winter refresher that's tasty and filling. Perfect for a satisfying breakfast or hearty snack.
