Ingredients

Green Goddess Smoothie

Berry Beet Power Blend

Tropical Carrot Cooler

Equipment

• High-speed blender (such as Vitamix or Ninja)
• Cutting board and sharp knife
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Peeler (for carrots, beets, or ginger)
• Spatula (to scrape down sides)
• Glasses or jars for serving

Instructions

For All Smoothies:

1. Prepare your ingredients.

   Wash and chop all produce as needed. For beets and carrots, peel and cook if using raw (steaming or roasting works well for beets).

2. Add ingredients to the blender.

   Layer your smoothie starting with liquid at the bottom, then soft ingredients (like banana or yogurt), followed by harder or frozen items (like carrots, beets, or frozen fruit).

3. Blend until smooth.

   Start on low speed and gradually increase. Blend for 60-90 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is perfectly creamy and no chunks remain.

4. Taste and adjust.

   If your smoothie is too thick, add a splash more liquid. If you prefer it sweeter, blend in maple syrup or a pitted date.

   For extra chill, add a few ice cubes and blend again.

5. Serve immediately.

   Pour into glasses or jars. Garnish with fresh herbs, seeds, or fruit slices if desired.

   Enjoy your nutritious fruit and veggie smoothie!

Tip: For an ultra-smooth texture, use a high-speed blender. If using a standard blender, blend greens and liquid first before adding other ingredients.
