It's mid-September - it's basically fall but it's still so hot outside. How do you eat all the fall foods while its still sweltering out?? Make a fall smoothie of course!
Beets and apples are some of the most classic fall foods. Throw them into a smoothie and you've got yourself a delicious fall dish that's still heat-appropriate.
Now beets tend to have a pretty intense flavor, especially if you eat them raw. If you roast the beets you still get their great color and nutritional benefits, but you tone down the earthy flavor just a bit and enhance their natural sweetness. Perfect for a smoothie. You can definitely still taste the beets, but instead of being overpowering they add a subtle earthy sweet flavor that compliments the other ingredients very well.
Add some cinnamon to the mix and this smoothie starts to scream fall!
These smoothies only have a few simple ingredients.
There quite a few options for vegan yogurt these days. And many of them have probiotics added, so you get all the benefit of dairy yogurt without the IGF-1 and other hormones found in dairy products.
When selecting a vegan yogurt be sure to look for one with minimal preservatives. There are many brands that claim to be healthy vegan yogurt but when you look at the ingredient list you have no idea what half of the things are. That's not ideal.
The best yogurt is only a few ingredients: the base (i.e. coconut, cashew, almond), water, and a probiotic.
If you see any gums, preservatives, etc. try to find a different brand.
Also, as with dairy-based yogurts, watch for added sugars. Look for a no-added sugar version.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400.Trim the tops and bottoms off of the beets. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil.
Step 2. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 60 minutes, or until the beets are fork tender. Let cool.
Step 1. Simply add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Top with additional yogurt, if desired. Enjoy!
Thank you God for delicious fall recipes. Help us to be nourished with these smoothies and allow them to fuel our bodies to take on our day. Amen.
