Apple Carrot Beet Anti-Inflamatory Smoothie

This smoothie is a great way to “drink your veggies” and you can tell from its vibrant red color that it’s brimming with antioxidants. A delicious combination of beets, ginger, carrots, orange, and apple sure makes for one health boosting smoothie. ~ Just 5 simple ingredients and a high-powered blender is all you need. Here’s what’s in this smoothie: Red Beet: adds a sweet and earthy flavor and ruby-red color; you can use a yellow beet instead for a golden-colored juice. Apple: I used a Granny Smith apple here but it’s fine to use any apple you like or have on hand. Carrots: contribute a subtle sweetness and additional fiber. Fresh Ginger: adds a bright and spicy note. Orange Juice: provides natural sweetness to balance the other ingredients. - Should You Peel the Vegetables? - It’s really up to you. There’s no need to as long as you wash the beets, carrots, and apple well and give them a good scrub. The skin contains additional fiber and will turn this into a thick and luscious smoothie. Sometimes I’ll just do a rough peel to remove any darkened bits. But I do usually peel the ginger, as the skin can sometimes be tough. If you’d prefer a less thick and fibrous smoothie, then by all means, feel free to peel the fruit and veggies.
