Orange Cabbage Smoothie
Servings: 1
This vibrant cabbage smoothie is a delightful blend of sweet, citrusy, and earthy flavors. The green cabbage provides a mild, slightly peppery undertone that is balanced beautifully by the natural sweetness of pineapple and orange. The result is a refreshing, hydrating drink that feels light yet nourishing smoothie recipe.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup green cabbage
- ½ cup water
- 1 orange peeled
- 1 cup pineapple frozen
- ⅛ cup golden beet peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil
Instructions
- Blend the cabbage, water, and orange until smooth.
- Add the pineapple, beet, lemon juice, and flaxseed oil and blend again.
Notes
- Blend the cabbage completely in step one — no green flecks before you add the fruit. Cabbage is denser than spinach, so give it a full 60 seconds with the water and orange. This is what keeps the texture silky instead of confetti-like.
- Chop the golden beet small (½-inch cubes or less). Raw beets are dense little things, and small pieces blend smooth in any blender. No golden beet? Skip it or use a red one — the flavor's the same, but your smoothie turns pink instead of sunny orange.
- Frozen pineapple does the chilling — no ice needed, so the tropical flavor stays bold. If your cabbage tastes stronger than expected (older heads can be peppery), a few extra pineapple chunks smooth it right out.
