Summer Beet and Superfood Smoothie
I have been on a juicing kick. Adding the fresh beet and cucumber to this smoothie gives it a “juice” feel without the clean-up of a juicer. It’s perfect for a Sunday morning pre-brunch meal or post-workout. This smoothie also makes delicious popsicles. Simply freeze in a popsicle mold overnight.

Ingredients:
(
Makes 1-2 smoothies)
1 1/2 cups plant based milk, like almond milk
1 scoop superfood collagen powder
1/4 cup medium diced raw Chioggia (striped) or red beet
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 –1 inch slice fresh ginger or 1 tsp. dry
1/3 cup medium diced cucumber
2 Tbs. freshly squeezed lemon juice
4–5 ice cubes, garnish, optional
Instructions:
Blend in a high-speed blender. Start on low for 15 seconds, and then blend on high for 30 seconds or until smooth. For a thicker smoothie, add less milk. You can add more ginger if you like it spicy. I prefer a 1-inch slice of fresh ginger. Want it extra cold? Serve it over ice.
Chef Carla Notes:
- If you don’t have a high-speed blender, chop the beet extra fine and or use a cooked beet.

I celebrated 12 years of being of sober at the beginning of May. It’s not something I share often, but this is the deeper why to my mocktails and the reason that I create them. Sobriety gives me the clarity to tune into myself in order to create. If you are part of my community on Instagram, you know that I make fancy mocktails.
However, what I drink regularly is a simple mocktail made with apple cider vinegar, a dropper full of Belly Love tincture from Anima Mundi, a dash of orange bitters, and I top it with seltzer. If you like the tartness of apple cider vinegar, you will love this! Try the Weekday Mocktail
