Raspberry Reboot Smoothie

Prep Time 5

Servings

cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1 cup steamed, then frozen cauliflower*
1-1 ¼ cup water
1 orange or ½ grapefruit, trimmed, quartered**
3 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
1-2 tbsp raw honey***
1-2 inch knob ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
*Or use 1 scant cup of frozen riced cauliflower. You could also replace cauliflower with cooked beets. Or skip the veg all together (then you’ll just need less water).
**I love to throw whole citrus in smoothies because there is so much nutrition in that white pith. If it’s not organic or if the skin looks beat up, I’ll just trim that outer skin/zest off. If not, I’ll just leave it on. If you’re worried about bitterness, you can peel the orange, but try to leave SOME pith on there! You can try to remove the seeds if there are a ton of them, but I generally don’t bother.
***Use local and raw, if possible, for the most benefits. You can use any sweetener here, like maple syrup or dates. You could also use banana if you like that flavor in your smoothies.

In a high-speed blender, add all smoothie ingredients, starting with just 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon honey. Blend on high until totally smooth. If it’s too thick, add a bit more water. If it’s too tart or bitter, add more honey.
