Beet Detox Smoothie

Beet Detox Smoothie

Ever since I started consuming smoothie, I hope to concoct a detox drink weekly.  This time, beetroot[1] is my star ingredient.  Beetroot is a potent detox agent, but it is avoided by many due to its earthy flavour.  To overcome this, I added pineapple and red dragon fruit, both sweet and tasty fruits. 

Without paring the skin of beetroot and cucumber skin, I gave these vegetables a good scrub using baking soda, follow by a 45min "spa" (soaked) in homemade eco-enzyme to get rid of pesticides and other harmful chemicals. 

Ingredients  (for 4 servings)

1 stalk of coriander
1 grapefruit, diced

5 slices of ginger

1 red dragon fruit, diced

3 thick slices of beetroot with skin
