RECIPE

Grounding and immune-boosting beet, orange, and ginger smoothie. High in iron, manganese, copper, potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, and B vitamins, and loaded with phytonutrients. Buy your ingredients from your local markets, bulk bins or in compostable packaging and make it zero-waste!

• 2cm fresh ginger root
• 250 ml fresh orange juice, coconut water or homemade plant milk
• Optional: a handful of fresh berries and / or 1 tbsp acai powder

METHOD

1. Scrub and grate the beetroot root (don’t discard the leaves – beet greens are highly nutritious and delicious!). Zest the oranges (keep for other recipes). Halve the oranges and remove any pips. Slice 2cm of ginger.
2. Add all ingredients to blender and blitz until smooth.
3. Pour into a bowl or glass, and if you’d like, top with fresh fruit, coconut flakes, or superfood powders for an extra boost.
